What can I say, I like the alarmist style of journalism. Needless to
say, you shouldn't stop reading at the headline, as we have some important
information to pass on to you.
Ladies and Gentlemen!
The
Milwaukee Westside Harlequins are pleased to announce that you are
cordially invited celebrate 35 great years of Harlequin Rugby. Save the
date of September 25th as it will see our Division 3 squad take on Fox
Cities RFC (kickoff 12pm) and our Division 1 squad take on Metropolis
RFC (kickoff 2pm) talking place at the Milwaukee County Sports Complex
at 60th and Ryan road. The family friendly celebration will be held just
down the street at Croatian Park located at 76th and Ryan road in
Franklin Wisconsin following the games (approximately 430pm).
The cost to you? Free. We realize in the current economic times, things
might be a little tight, and we're looking to gather as many Harlequins
past, present, and future to celebrate this event. We will be asking for
donations in lieu of a formal cover charage, and addtional raffles and
events will be held to defray costs.
Founded in 1975 as Derry's Rugby Club the Milwaukee
Westside Harlequins have been a force on the Midwest rugby scene. It is
time once again to get together and celebrate 35 great years of rugby!
This year it will take the form of a family picnic trying to bring back
the spirit of the old Harlequin Corn Roast. I would like to encourage
all ruggers who previously played to come out and enjoy an afternoon of
rugby followed by a great meal and good times. It would not be possible
for the club to have today's success had it not been for all those
ruggers who strapped on the boots and had a run over the last 35 years.
So please, call your old mates and come on out to enjoy some rugby
hospitality. Dinner is being catered by American European Foods and
they are providing Chicken, Sausage, Corn, Mashed Potatoes, and
dessert! We are looking to have games and activities for children so we
encourage you to bring
your family and friends. There is also one more surprise!
The
Milwaukee Westside Harlequins are pleased to announce the 35th Annual
Celebration will also see the induction of two new members to the
Harlequin Hall of Fame! Our inductees this year will be David Brienzo
and Jeff Friedrich. On the field David played a brilliant scrumhalf in
the late 70's was a Midwest player. Off the field he and his wife Patty
were the lifeblood of the club. Jeff, who also played a pretty mean
scrumhalf in the mid 80's, was also a select side player. His play in
the Midwest Junior Cup is still talked about today. These men have
demonstrated great play on and off the field as Milwaukee Westside
Harlequins. We are honored to induct them into the Harlequin Hall of
Fame. They will be joining the likes of Daniel Brienzo, Joe Kloiber,
Joe McCook, and Tim McNulty.
Rugby Kickoff: 12pm at Milwaukee County Sports Complex 60th and Ryan
Rd
35th Annual Celebration: 430pm at Croatian Park 76th and Ryan Rd

Naah, I'm just kidding. Joe O'Brien has registered the Harlequins as a team to particpate in the Irish Fest 5K run walk.The proceeds raised will benefit arthritis, a worthy cause in itself. The cost will be $25 per registrant (runner\walker for those without a dictionary).
The event is on August 21st, and everyone who plans to attend should be there by 10am to stretch (please apply your Ben Gay off-site). The run\walk itself begins at 10:30. Please note the proceeding times are NOT based on rugby time, but Greenwich Mean Time - 6 hours (Central Time Zone, United States).
Click on this link to register yourself.The Harlequins are playing in Chicago that day, so if you are playing or watching that day and cannot attend, please make a pledge. Contact Joe O'Brien directly if you have any questions.

It's time to don your aprons and show us what kind of real-life chef skills you have. Do you use noodles in your chili? Who will have the hottest, the most flavorful or the most interesting?
Our Esteemed panels of judges will vote for the Most Outstanding Chili and award a cash. Everyone who attends will also be entered into a draw for a 4 pack of Milwaukee Brewer Baseball Tickets, Bar Tabs, Gift Certificates, and more!
Join us for fun and food at the Sin Bin on April 16. For just $10 you'll enjoy food, drink and the best Chili the Harlequins have to offer. All remaining proceeds will go towards our upcoming rugby tour to New Zealand.
Those interested in entering a chili, please contact John Paul Kloiber at

On the eve of our fall season scrimmage it was time to put our livers to the test and do some damage on the town.
We started at our familar watering hole, The Sin Bin, to warm things up with some graciously provided Jamison shots from the bar. There were about 25of us and over the course of the night we met up with another dozen or so others.
By the time we made it through that bottle along with whatever other
concoctions were on the agenda for the night our bus had arrived. We
began our decent on the debauchery that would follow.

From the newest of the rookies, to the oldest of the old boys, we tend to snap up any movie or game video we can get our hands on. Of course, this means our loved ones have to endure it as well, as their computer or TV time gets pushed aside for the "Harlequins on Time Warner Sports", the Tri Nations or British Lions tours, and any of the professional matches that somehow cracks the 500 channels of reality TV paraded before us on a weekly basis.
Rarely, however, has there been a focus on the the 'new awakening' of USA rugby. Often pushed to the shadows of other sports (particularly soccer), and with fields in the lowest drainage point in most park systems, love for our sport spreads mostly by word of mouth.
