If there is an astrics or star* behind your game, that means this is an official Great Plains Cup Match for standings

There is a Friday game on Sept. 10th, even though it is on the weekend of Sept. 11th--Wayne women will play at Lincoln Huskers on a Friday night and then go to play KU on Saturday the 11th of Sept.

2 Game weekends are with Aberdeen, playing at Omaha GOATS B-side on SAT Sept. 11th, and then playing on SUNDAY at Lincon City on Sun. Sept. 12th

Wayne Boys on Sat. the 18th of Sept. will play at Salina Kansas and then drive ASAP up to Hastings to play the new UNK-Kearney Hastings team in HASTINGS

Teams will not be fined if you play with at least with 10 players during your game.

Home team is to call the referee for your game NO LATER THEN WED, AT 9PM, to give the ref the official kickoff time, and directions to your home pitch, post game location

Home team is in charge of all 1 game matches as far as payment to the referee society, along with crisp field markings, goal post pads and a safe pitch to play on.

Storm Lake is making plans for Nov. 6th, to have an end of the year situation for all, so more news to come from them in the next few days

Feel free at this time to call around and see if you want to fill any of your open dates, with other teams from the other 5 State area. Please let us know so an

updated version with those added games, can be given to the referee society to be scheduled with the true MVP's of rugby-----The Refs

Even if you book an away game, we still need to know if you are filling out a weekend!!!

To all D-3 town team men,If you notice a # (symble) behind your game, this is because of milage situation, that was a topic at the AGM meeting.

If you do have a (#), the visiting team for a $75 fee, can ask the union for the game to be moved to a "meet in the middle" game.

The home team will now be required to drive to a mid point area to meet the visiting team, and the home team is to pay the REF FEE, and Visiting team pay the $75 field usage fee.

Visitng team is responsible for arrangements at a local soccer field, football practice area, and correct field markings if you chose not to use a true rugby area such as

Vermillion, Sioux City, Wayne, Sioux Falls as your mid-way point.

Other meeting places could be used, to maybe spark some thought for new clubs, in Columbus, NE or Mitchell, SD

Omaha GOATS have decided NOT to compete this competitive year in the GPRFU Men's D3 league, due to the restrictive USA Rugby multi-level club eligibility rule 3.3c.

However, if the 3.3c rule changes in the future, GOATS will reconsider their participation in the GPRFU Men's D3 league for future competitive seasons.

If you see open dates please feel free to call the other 5 state areas and fill any open holes, please keep in mind teams that have "open" weekends, many asked for

those weekends off for weddings, fund raisers and any other club or city functions.
