With an eye to the 2015 Rugby World Cup, 17 pax of The Fort set out in the rain to work on some ball handling and heavy cardio.  We saved the scrums, rucks, and mauls for next time!  Pax were informed that possession is key and any dropped balls would be punished.

The Thang:

Balls up for an Indian Run with Rugby Passes up to the soccer fields – disaster!  It’s early so we’ll let that one go.

COT

Great job by the Pax this morning!  Everyone actually listened and followed the brief instruction very well.  We may not make the US Eagles for 2015 but we are one step closer.  Thanks for having an open mind to something different and new.  Hope all the sprints and punishment for dropped balls provided enough for the pax this morning.  Actually pretty impressed with the ball handling skills of the men of The Fort…….should I even be surprised?  Shout out to all the men of Team Shirts for never giving up and coming through when it actually counted for the huge win!  Team Skins needs to do more crunches or something.  Watch out for that Tiger Trap down the right sideline – it’ll sneak up on you.

Some Pax were double downing on the First Annual (?) F3FortMill Obstacle Course.  Strong work, brothers!

Praise for Bounty Hunter and his growing family.  Your commitment to fatherhood shows and is a great example for all the pax.

It was an honor to lead such a great group of men.
