OLDE
ORIGINALS TO LEAVE SOUTH FOR MARFU
THE ORIGINALS HAVE TALKED TO MID- ATLANTIC RUGBY FOOTBALL
UNION REPRESENTATIVES AND WILL LEAVE THE SOUTH TO JOIN MARFU. THE RALEIGH
VIPERS LEFT NC RFU IN 1995 WHEN THE EASTERN RUGBY UNION SPLIT INTO
TERRITORIES IN 1995 AND HAVE BEEN MEMBERS OF VIRGINIA RFU AND MARFU EVER
SINCE.
SINCE 1995 THE OLDE ORIGINALS HAVE FIELDED THEIR “A” TEAM IN EITHER THE
SOUTH DIVISION 1 OR 2. THE ORIGINALS WERE DIVISION TWO MEMBERS IN YEAR
2000 AND PLAYED AT THE NATIONAL DIVISION 2 FINAL 16 TOURNEY AT FT. WORTH
TEXAS. THEY HAVE BEEN IN THE SOUTH DIVISION 1 THE OTHER YEARS SINCE 95’.
CLUB OFFICIALS CITE SEVERAL REASONS FOR LEAVING THE SOUTH:
1. THERE ARE FEW DIVISION 1 CLUBS IN THE SOUTH (4).
2. NEW ORLEANS HAS LEFT THE SOUTH FOR THE WEST.
3. THE FLORIDA CLUBS WILL NOT MOVE TO THE DIVISION 1.
4. THE FLORIDA CLUBS WILL NOT TRAVEL.
5. LIFE UNIVERSITY HAS DEMPHASIZED RUGBY AND THEIR STATUS IS UNCERTAIN.
6. OTHER CLUBS IN THE SOUTH WILL NOT MOVE UP TO THE DIVISION 1.
7. HARD TO SCHEDULE TEAMS FOR A- SIDE IN THE SOUTH.
