Our club was founded in 1996 by two members of the Green Bay Rugby Club, Matt Goetsch and Terry Enright. Matt Coached full time through 2000 and continues to help administrate the club. Toby Brosteau coached the club from 1998 - 2002. Robert Bires took over in 2003 and ran the club until 2006. In 2007 Mike Ellingsworth took over the club. due Mike moving on to coach the Celtics is 2008 Brian Tilque and Chad Reinhart took the team over. In 2010 the team will be coached by Ed Borowitz.
In our 12 year history, we have placed in the top 4 teams in the state twice. In 2006 we added to our state tournament history by winning the 'best of the rest' tournament to finish 5th in state.
More importantly we have taught our favorite sport to over 200 young men from Howard and Suamico. We are very proud that close to 25% have gone on to play in college or for the Green Bay Rugby Football Club. Our club has no affiliation with Bay Port High School or the Howard Suamico School District.
