2024 Spring Schedule
March 20, 2024
The first of four Spring 2024 home events is upon us this Saturday in the form of a rugby double-header. Due to a tight schedule involving other Municipal Recreation Complexusers on March 23, our club will actually host two simultaneous rugby events utilizing both MRC rugby pitches. Los Santos will take on olde foes Denver Highlanders, while some of New Mexico’s finest high school players – including our little brothers from Los Alamos - will tackle the fancied Parker Titans, an academy encompassing five Denver-area high school teams. Learn more at parkerrugby.com.
2:30 Parker High Titans vs NM Selects, Field 2
3:00 Denver Highlanders vs Santa Fe Santos, Field 1
We will serve an on-site meal to all players afterward. Following the meal there will be a social for the Highlanders at Santa Fe Brewing Company.
We want to remind the Highlanders what a hearty Santa Fe welcome has always meant: hard, fair competition and a memorable time afterwards. We also want to show these young players why they want to be Santos someday. Please come out Saturday and help us achieve our goals.
