BRIEFLY: KOHLFELD SCORPIONS RUGBY CLUB BEGINS NEW SEASON

The Kohlfeld Scorpions Rugby Club will begin its 27th season Saturday at home against the Memphis Blues Rugby Club. The 1 p.m. game will be played at Arena Park on Hawthorne Road.

The Scorpions are scheduled to play in six home games this spring and will play in two tournaments.

"This should be a good season for us," said coach Tim "Doc" Joplin. "We were improving consistently last fall and that excitement has carried over to the spring."

In addition, it is not too late for interested players to join the team. Anyone interested in playing rugby is encouraged to attend a practice. The Scorpions practice each Tuesday and Thursday at 5:30 p.m. at Arena Park on East Rodney Drive.

"The team is always looking for new people," said Joplin. "Rugby is a fun and competitive sport. We will teach you the rules and skills of the game. No knowledge of rugby is required."
