Women's Clubs

A Tackle-A-Thon at the Old White Pitch Saturday

Atlanta 2.0 Selects host Birmingham Steel at 1 PM on Saturday, October 17 with pledges per tackle and an alumni homecoming, the Harlequins play at Northern Virginia at 11 AM, the Furies' combined side won at Cayce, and High Country Women spent Pride weekend at a tent

Atlanta 2.0 Selects posted "it's game week" on Monday, October 12: Birmingham Steel at the Old White Rugby Pitch, 1035 Fairburn Road SW, on Saturday, October 17 at 1 PM. The club has made the day a Tackle-A-Thon and alumni homecoming, pledges per tackle or a team donation through the form in the club's bio per its October 4 post, and the Metro Atlanta Valkyries, a women's tackle football team, will have a table at the field. Atlanta Old White's D3 men host Chattanooga on the same pitch afterward, kickoff to be posted by the club, so the afternoon runs as a doubleheader.

The Atlanta Harlequins put a line under their October 3 Alumni Appreciation Match on Wednesday: "a huge congratulations to our players of the match for our win against Boston," with the score still unposted by the club; the referee society's record has it 12-5. The Harlequins' next two are on the road, Northern Virginia on Saturday, October 17 at 11 AM at Signal Hill Park and New York Rugby Club on Saturday, November 7 at 2 PM at Randall's Island Park, per the club's site.

The Augusta Furies went to Cayce, South Carolina on Saturday, October 10 with a combined side alongside Southern Pines and beat the Magnolia Drifters, a 1 PM kickoff at the Busbee Creative Arts Academy. "The Southern Furies everybody," the club posted. The clubs' captions and their results graphic carry two different scores, so the final goes up here when the club confirms it. The Furies host their own round robin at the Augusta Rugby Pitch on Saturday, November 7, where the referee society's sheet lists the Women of Old White and the Gaston County Hellhounds alongside them, and run a professional-attire clothing drive at Savannah River Brewing Company on Monday, October 26 from 6 to 9 PM.

The Savannah Shamrocks' women were due at the Carolina Villains on Saturday and did not travel: "due to the weather the Women's match against @carolinavillainsrugby is postponed," the club posted on Friday afternoon, with the Villains naming Hurricane Isaias. A makeup date is to come; the Shamrocks' women are next at Southwest Florida on Saturday, November 14. The Women of Old White are at the Columbia Bombshells on Saturday, October 17, per the club's schedule graphic, and list November 7 as an away day against the Hellhounds, which is the Augusta round robin.

Atlanta High Country's women did not have a match and spent the weekend at Atlanta Pride instead: "a hurricane is no match," the club posted on Monday, thanking the volunteers who ran its tent. High Country Women opened their season on October 3 with a win over the Women of Old White; the club's two channels carry two different scores and the final goes up here the moment the club confirms it. They are at the Memphis Flamingos on Saturday, October 17 and practice Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7 to 9 PM at Coan Park, beginners welcome. Kennesaw State's women, with no result posted from Athens, host Tennessee at The Perch on Saturday, November 14 at 3 PM. Every date is on the calendar.
