- Sizing Info
Please join us on Saturday, September 28th at 10 am for an all abilities non-contact charity rugby match.
We will be celebrating the years of rugby and friendship shared by all who loved Fletcher’s Fields, including our founders Monty Heald and Lexie Tynan. This match will be for all ages and stages and you don’t need to be a rugby superstar to play - just a pair of shorts and cleats or runners. The match will be both fun and a fundraiser for The Monty Heald Fund and Toronto Inner City Rugby (TIRF). Donations for both programs will be accepted in advance and on the day of the match. For TIRF we will be raising funds to purchase rugby boots and Gilbert Rugby Canada will be matching the fundraising so that every $65 raised will purchase a new pair of Gilbert Sidestep X20 boots for an athlete.

The Rugby Legacy
Often referred to as The Beautiful Game, rugby blends tradition, physicality, and inclusivity to create an extraordinary bond between players and fanatics. At the centre of rugby traditions is the rugby jersey - originally made from heavy weight cotton to withstand the wear and tear of scrums and tackles. Originating at Rugby School in Warwickshire, England in 1823 the game began as a sport played between boys independent schools in the UK. The rugby jerseys were designed to be strong and bold in contrasting colours that would easily allow the referee to distinguish between the two teams in scrums and tackles.
Made for Today
Today rugby is an inclusive sport played by everyone, and the rugby jersey is an element of mainstream fashion worn not just by weekend rugby Dads, but by celebrities (think Taylor Swift, Mick Jagger & Justin Bieber) and street style enthusiasts from New York, to Los Angeles to Copenhagen.
