Want a little piece of Scottish culture without the price of a plane ticket? This Saturday (May 30), Alexandria, VA takes on its sister city in a rematch of the 2008 contest. This will be the second annual Mayor's Cup Challenge Match.In Summer 2008, Mayor Bill Euille and Alexandria Rugby sent a Select XV men’s team over to Dundee for the first ever Mayor’s Cup Challenge Rugby Match between sister cities. Dundee won the first one, and now it’s payback time for the Potomac Rugby Union players. (eRugbyNews)Bring your haggis, bagpipes, and kilt. Before donning that last one, I'd check the weather for any high wind warnings.
Event will be held at GW Stadium Field, 1005 Mt. Vernon Ave. from 10am – 6 pm. For more information, call Owen Malone at 703.851.6188 or email alexandriarugby@comcast.net.

Alexandria Rugby (www.alexandriarugby.org) and the Alexandria Parks and Rec will hold a youth non-contact clinic this Saturday to introduce the sport of rugby to the youth of Alexandria.
The clinic is open to all boys and girls ages 6-14, free of charge, no experience needed. The clinic will be held from 1-2pm at the GW Middle School (adjacent to Braddock Road Metro). Just show up!
We will play non-contact "touch rugby" and "flag rugby." This game involves running, passing, catching and teamwork - all skills
that carry over to other sports.

There is nothing more important than giving our best effort, all of the time. On an exam day, a good effort means that students attempt everything, even if that means they need to come back at lunch or after school. Show a work ethic, students, and you will not only do better on the test....you will do better in every aspect of your life. y8 games online || kizi || abcya4 free games
