We are trying to assemble a list of Westmount old boys. The goal is to get more guys interested in watching, participating (in touch?) and supporting the club.
Westmount vs Montreal XV
This coming Saturday, June 1st, the Westmount Ravens are facing off against the Montreal XV at Confederation Park. The Ravens haven’t faced off against the Montreal XV since the 2011 season, when the Ravens won the cup against a very tight and excellent rugby match.
The reserves men’s team will be playing at 13:30, and the Premiers at 3:00.
Here are the directions to the field: https://maps.google.ca/maps?q=
Come on out and support your Ravens!
Ravenettes full feature on CBC Montreal

Charles did not manage to mention his traditional TV recruitment line. “At a Westmount Ravens training session we usually 40, 70… 100 team members attend training. Charles, there is always the next TV interview.

Westmount Ravens first official women’s team!
The oldest rugby club in North America has officially the newest Women’s team! As of this week, the Ravens have officially registered with the Fédération du Rugby du Québec a full ladies team, ready to join the ranks of one of the fastest growing sports in North America. The women’s side has been in development since last summer, and excitement is quickly building around this new team. This new side is also in full expansion, so if you’re interested in learning more about the sport, or if you’re looking for a new sport, don’t be shy! Get in contact with us through contact@westmountrugby.com.
We hope to see you soon!
The new shorts are here!
That’s right. The 2013 uniforms are here and ready to go! Tomorrow, Thursday the 9th, the new shorts will be available for purchase at the cost of 40$. There will be all sizes available for men and women. We accept cash (please bring exact amount) and cheques made out to Westmount Rugby Club. These shorts are yours to keep which also makes them your responsibility. If they need replacing, they will be replaced at your expense.
The new socks are not here yet, but they will be here any day now. Our club president, Tony, will have one of the new first team jerseys tomorrow at practice so you can have a look before the game on Saturday.
So see you all tomorrow and don’t forget, if you’re bringing cash, bring the exact amount!
