Stefan, Kyle, Mike, Drew, Kristian, Ben O, Ben M, Joe, Paul, Allen, Dmitri, Gonzo, Karl, Zulu, Johannes, Sebastian, Curtis, Wayda, Sam, Kevin

These men overcame injuries, late arrivals to the pitch, extremely physical opposition and bad pitches to put in a solid showing for YGRFC.

Columbia Tournament 23rd April 2011 Report

With both Columbia Med and Columbia Business short of players, our players split up with 6 players (Simon, Sheb, Stefan, Zulu and Scott) joining Columbia Med and 7 players (Jon, Curtis, Jeremy, Chandrew, Calvin, Bryce, Bryan) playing for Columbia Business. Adam played for both teams. 
The tournament turned into a fun scrimmage between 2 combined teams. 

Annual Duke tournament 2011 player notables

Joe Kuebler: His great vision in receiving kickbacks and backtracking to tackle opponent backs who crossed our defence line kept us in the game on many occasions. He is a natural fullback indeed.
Bryan Wayda: His pass interceptions at crucial moments in the game prevent opponents from gaining further field advantage and he gracefully fulfilled his flyhalf duties.
Adam Swick: His valiant efforts on offence helped us advance towards the try line on many occasions and his crisp passing resulted in a few tries in the tournament.
