Rest in Peace Fletchers Field – For the past 60 years, Fletcher’s Field—fondly known as “The Square”—has been the beating heart of rugby in Ontario. It wasn’t just a field; it was a home, a stage, and a sanctuary. From regular season games to intense playoff battles, provincial clashes, and unforgettable international showdowns, Fletcher’s became a place where players and fans alike made the pilgrimage to Markham, season after season. But Fletcher’s was more than just a hub for fierce competition; it was a place where friendships were forged, where bonds formed over shared love for the game. It was the soul of rugby in this province—a place where victories were celebrated, losses were consoled, and countless memories were made. […]

Holiday Auction Sat Dec 7th – A reminder that the Balmy Beach Holiday Auction and Market will be held at the club on Saturday December 7th. This is a big fundraiser for the section and all proceeds goes towards jerseys, field permits, goal post pads and much much more. Hope to see you there.

Although the rugby season has come to an end, the rugby section is still working hard to produce one of their most important events of the year, the annual holiday market and auction. Here is a note from Kirstin. If you are interested in helping or donating, please feel […]

Congratulations to all our Gold and Blue athletes both men and women, on a great season.! – The ones were down going into the final minute of the game but a great play by young Jamie Cain turned the game in our favour and saw us hold up the cup for the last time in Fletchers Field. Here’s the game recap and if you want to watch the game, the link is below:

Wow! Everyone was fiending for a final to send off Fletcher’s Field in style and boy did this game deliver. If someone had said before this game started that we would: have our starting fly half dislocate his shoulder and removed from the game within the first 2 […]

A note from the rugby section re the finals being played Sept 28, 2024. As you may have heard, a series of wacky events has led to the last Gee Gage Cup to be played at Fletchers to be up for grabs between Beach 2’s and Beach 3’s. I think this is a great throwback to the early years of the Gee Gage Cup, where more than one or two of the finals were also Beach 2’s V Beach 3’s games. The game kicks off at 11:30AM, and a bus will be leaving the clubhouse at 9:30AM. Physio’s, refs, and champagne for after the game are already sorted, and I hear rumors that the smoke machine, and disco ball from […]

What a great evening as we said goodbye to a great blue and gold stallworth Claude “the Dude” Germaine.

We had over 110 in the main hall last night laughing at infamous moments and inside jokes and dirty poems. Big shout out to the roasters, Malency, Brock and Scott Dunham and to Kyle Nichols for MCing the event.

I spoke with Claude and he was super emotional and very drunk but infinitely thankful for the special evening he was able to spend with his family and friends on this very special night.

No game report from last weekend but the Beach 1s were able to squeak out a victory over the Oshawa Vikings 10-6 so they will be playing the last finals on […]

Some great rugby this weekend and I hope you had a chance to make to the pitch to watch the Beach take on Burlington

Burlington kicked off with the wind behind them. The battle by the beach was primarily played in the forwards with a lot of pick and goes from the base and driving mauls from lineouts. Knocking on the doorstep of Burlington’s goal line we moved the ball out wide and dotted down in the corner. Beach up 7-0. Burlington then marched right back down the field moving the ball efficiently through their center with runners attacking the gain line until they found a soft spot in the Beaches defense that was quickly exploited. […]

TRU II: Default Win VS Mississauga
TRU I: 33-15 Win VS Mississauga – I didn’t go to this game but it was apparently a route in the first half, and then Mississauga clawed their way back in a little.
ORU II: 14-22 Loss VS Scottish II’s – With over 65 players unavailable this weekend our ORU two’s came out of the gate slow. The boys on the field stepped up as much as they could but with so many players playing out of position in order to other absences it took a little while for the squad to find it’s feet. By half time we were down 0-14. The two’s rallied in typical fashion and won the second half, but ran […]

Beach TRU II VS North Halton – Forfeit by North Halton

Beach TRU I VS Crusaders – Forfeit by Crusaders

Beach ORU II VS Peterborough II 55-5 – Not much to report here. As is typical lately for the ORU 2’s this game was never really in doubt and was a total domination. Forwards crushed the opposition pack and set up a bunch of opportunities for our backs to pull out some fancy moves and dot down some big tries. On to the next one.

Beach ORU I VS Peterborough I 40-21 – This game started out with a bang and beach pumped in quick successive try’s in the first half to put us up 28-0 at half time. Peterborough struck first in […]
