The McCormick Cup is a long-standing tradition in Ontario rugby; a term synonymous with Rugby Ontario. The Cup is the title championship for Rugby Ontario’s Marshall Premiership & Championship Senior Men’s First Teams, along with the annual EORU Champion.

The Cup is named for former Rugby Ontario President Vic McCormick, one of the great builders of the sport in our province and a member of the Rugby Ontario Hall of Fame (Class of ’01).

Since replacing the Carling Cup in 1982, the McCormick Cup has been hoisted 11 times by Balmy Beach, six times by Ottawa Irish, and six times by the Irish Canadians / Markham Irish.

Report from Erin Geddes

Wednesday, September 7th, 2016

Message from Erin Geddes:

I just wanted to take the time to thank everyone who has supported me since finding out I was selected for u20 Canada team and those who have been there for me since day one. I can’t even put into words how thankful and appreciative I am of all the donations and kind words passed onto me over these past two weeks including the generous donation from LRFC. I am beyond grateful to be apart of such an amazing club, whose generosity and support over the years has helped me grow into the player I am today. I wouldn’t want to call anywhere else home. ❤️

I learned so much and I will never forget those who helped me get to where I am now. I was able to fully fund my tour cost through the help of my family, friends, and the Lindsay Rugby club. For that, I am eternally grateful.

Looking back, this was such an amazing opportunity and I am so thankful to have experienced it with such a great group of girls and coaches.

Forever a Lady G,

Erin Geddes

Erin Geddes represents Canada U20 team!

Erin with club President Rob Brouwer

One of our women’s team players, Erin Geddes, was selected a few weeks ago to represent the Canadian u20 team that is currently traveling in England until the 27th of this month. The Canadian girls are playing in a 3 game test series against the England opposition.

This is an amazing opportunity for Erin, but was not covered by Rugby Canada and took a lot of fundraising so she could be a part of the tour.

The Lindsay Rugby Club was more than happy to support Erin in her journey, as the club donated $500.00 towards her fundraising efforts.

Pictured are club President Rob Brouwer and Treasurer Dennis Newman presenting Erin with a cheque.

An Evening with The Kents – buy your tickets at the “door”!

Monday, July 18th, 2016

The Lindsay Rugby Club is excited to announce that The Kents will be headlining our next big fundraising event and they will be pumping out all their tunes on our outdoor stage. This local foursome are very entertaining and put on a show you don’t want to miss!

The Kents are four indie-pop obsessed boys from the town of Lindsay, Ontario.

Waking EP, produced by Derek Hoffman (The Elwins, DCF) at Fox Sounds in Toronto with mastering from Dan Weston (Shad, City And Colour), encapsulates lyrical explorations of family, loss and separation from the comfort of adolescence with a hook-hungry, pop filter that controls the chaos.

Formed in 2014, The Kents are comprised of Warren Frank (vocals), Freddy Kwon (guitar), Luke Shauf (bass) and Tanner Paré (drums).

Joining The Kents will be other locals acts:

9:00pm The Do Good Badlies
10:00 pm The Rootmen

Online Tickets are now closed, but you can still show up at pay $15.00 at the door tonight. We look forward to seeing you there!

Rob Stokes Memorial Golf Tournament

Wednesday, June 1st, 2016

It’s that time again. The tournament will be held this year on Friday July 15th 2016 at the Lindsay Golf and Country Club to honour Rob Stokes. The club renamed the tournament in 2005 to honour Mr. Stokes’ dedication as a husband and father, science teacher, coach and teammate. Proceeds from the tournament help support the Rob Stokes Biology Award, presented annually to the top graduate in biological studies at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Secondary School and the Lindsay Rugby Football Club’s junior rugby program.
