Maverick Rugby Club - Championship Rugby!
SGT ROBERT "RED" BROOKS 1971 - 2009
Robert C. Brooks, a Sergeant with the Duncanville Police Department, was born September 24, 1971, in Germany, and passed away in the morning of March 6, 2009, at age 37, after a long bout with brain cancer. Robert was a graduate of Duncanville High School and Stephen F. Austin University where he earned a degree in Criminal Justice. He had been awarded numerous commendations in his nearly 14 year career with the Duncanville P.D. He was a rugby player for the Arlington Mavericks and was known for his passion for the game. Red will be deeply missed and even though he is gone, his saying, "I AIN?T DONE PLAYING YET." won?t be forgotten. For those who were unable to attend the service here are
the kind and touching words spoken by Red?s childhood friend Sean Evans, Chance Snow and LT Charles Smith.

SUMMER PRACTICE/SEVENS
We will be running touch every Tuesday and Thursday from 7PM to Dark at our Game Field, Prairie Park. There has been a lot of interest shown so the club is planning entering a good number of the TOLA (Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas) tournaments this summer. Chance Snow is one of the Co-Captains for Sevens and is looking for someone else to join him in that role. Check the Game Field page for directions and the Schedule Page for the tournaments. Touch and the tournaments are open to all and not just the fast, fit skinny guys.

22nd ANNUAL BARCYCLE - JULY 11th
Are ready to "Pedal, Pound and Pray" as the club embarks on yet another adventure of the oldest and most
cherished social event in Maverick Rugby history. There is a change this year to start and finish locations as
we will not be doing the usual loop that we have in the past. The route and times below are subject to change
which translates to we might have to skip a bar if we run out of sunlight as the goal is to be off the streets
before dark. This is an event you don't want to miss so be there to catch all the action even if you don't plan
on riding as we can always use a chase vehicle or two. If you can't be there at the start meet up with us along
the way.
