New Season - Positive Start
Alamo City RFC finished off the
first half of the 2011-2012 season unbeaten after beating a strong Corpus
Christi side 32-17 in Corpus.
The winning ways have carried
thru to 2012 as AC travelled to Austin on Jan 14th and beat the Huns II side
31-15
Next up is a cup game against
Austin Horde on Jan 28th back up in Austin which starts off a string of away
games during February and early March hitting Houston, Austin and Galveston.
Our coaches have put together
excellent practice and game plans and we need to keep up the strong numbers at
practice to ensure consistancy.
Training is at the Medical Centre pitch from 6:30 - 8:30. Boots on at 6:29PM.
Kevin Howell
8/9/1959 - 12/25/2011
It was with great sadness that we learned of the passing of
Kevin Howell on December 25th 2011.
Kevin was a much loved and respected member of Alamo City RFC and
selflessly aided others without question throughout his life. Kevin was
always there for his friends in their times of need.
Kevin had recently been diagnosed with cancer again and over the weekend
of November 19th, 13 past and present members of Alamo City RFC travelled to
Milwaukie, WI to visit and support our great friend at a benefit put on to help
raise funds for his medical expenses. The current Alamo City team raised over $1000 in less than a
week for the travelers to take and present at the Benefit. During that Benefit, over $27,000 was raised from the attendees,
again showing testament to the impact this man had on peoples lives.
Kevin played, captained and coached Alamo City RFC in the 1980s
and 1990s and is a lifelong friend to all who have met him. He overcame leukemia
with his undying optimism, positive attitude and support from his loved ones,
teammates and friends. He is an inspiration to us all.
Rest In Peace Kev and Up the Old Brown Kiwi!
