Rugby at Castleton State College
The Men's Rugby Club began by a group of inexperinced and experinced
players in 1993, since then they have won 3 championships, 97,98,00 all
of the North Conference.
The Women's Club was started in 1996 by Nicole Novello and Jen Wilson,
since that time they have won 3 championships as well, 1998, 1999, 2000..
A very heavely used resource the teams at Castleton used throughout their
progress was the local Men's Club (Rutland Area Touring Side also known
as the RATS) from nearby Rutland, VT.
Presently both teams remain part of the New England Football Union (NEFU)who
maintains thier fall schedules. They answer to the main governing body
for the entire country which is called USA Rugby. The New England Referee
Association has provided Castleton with officiating both locally and for
away matches.
