Scott AFB Rugby Football Club

Logo and team history here

The team was “established” in 1978 by Dick Battock, Terry Brady and TJ Doherty.

According to the Rowdies (now the Rowdies Rugby Football Club, Mens rugby in Belleville, Illinois) website (http://rowdiesrugby.com/)

Some of the original players I recall were: Dick Battock TJ Doherty, USAFA ‘69 Terry Brady, USAFA ‘69 Gary Kito, USAFA ‘72 Dick Nesbit

Here’s the Club’s Official History on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rowdies_Rugby_Football_Club ): “The Rowdies Rugby Football Club was formed in 1978 as the Scott Rowdies Rugby Football Club. In 2006, the name was changed to reflect the diversity of the players on the club. In previous years, most of the players were active duty military stationed at nearby Scott Air Force Base, Illinois.[2] Today, the Club still has many active duty military members, yet also draws members from the St. Louis area, including Belleville, Highland, Mascoutah, O'Fallon, Granite City, and St. Louis, MO.

In 2005, the Rowdies Rugby Football Club won the Missouri Rugby Football Union Division III championship, defeating Ft. Leonard Wood on October 29, 2005. In the spring of 2006, the Rowdies Rugby Football Club traveled to Ft. Worth, Texas for the Western Rugby Football Union championships, as the Division III representative for the Missouri Rugby Football Union.

In 2011, The Rowdies played their first season in The Illinois Rugby Union, playing well enough to advance to the Midwest Playoffs.”
