Park Clean-up a Resounding Success for Saratoga Rugby






On Saturday, April 19th, members of the Saratoga Mustangs joined the Saratoga Stampede to lend a hand in the annual Malta Community Parks Clean-up. If organizers were impressed by last year's turnout, they were speechless this past weekend. Together the youth and adult rugby clubs showed up with over 50 volunteers, including players, parents, wives and children. The ruggers were able to get out and enjoy one of the first truly gorgeous spring days while helping out their local community.

In addition to the expected trash and debris, the clean-up effort brought in the odd and unusual, including automobile parts and tires, couches, and a snowmobile windshield. And what would an annual park clean-up be without the discovery of yet another appliance? Saratoga ruggers ended this year's effort by retrieving a washing machine from the "Ice Cream Trail."



Many thanks to all those ruggers, parents, and families for giving up part of their Saturday to help out the Malta Parks Clean-up effort. Our participation in events such as this goes a long way towards securing use of the playing field at Shenantaha Creek Park, and is a great boon to the public image of Saratoga Rugby.
