Gold, Old and New alike:

Where: Irish Village (224 Market St, Brighton,MA 02135)
When: Saturday July 10th 6-10pm

Come early, leave late and enjoy some food and cheap beer the evening before Old
Gold’s 32nd Annual New England Ten’s Tournament!

Following field-setup in Acton we will kick-off at the Irish Village with rugby
on the TV, food, beer and a story or two if you remember any. Bring friends,
bring family, bring friend’s family: all are welcome. Irish Village are a new
sponsor to Old Gold and they have been great to us and we’d like to show our
appreciation with a good showing the night before the tournament.

We have two traveling sides from England who I’m sure will be interested in the
$4.50 pints of Guinness, yep FOUR FIFTY for a full beer. $3 Narragansett drafts
and PBR king-cans (16 oz) round off the drink specials for the evening!

The Spring season is done, but there are plenty of opportunities to stay in shape and improve basic rugby skills.
