Join the UBRAA May 2-4 in Buffalo, NY as we celebrate UB Rugby's Alumni Weekend '25.

To celebrate our alumni this year the UBRAA has chosen a very special group for induction into the UB Rugby Hall of Fame, the 2003-2008 UB Rugby Mad Turtles.

Boasting a roster of over 60 players, the '03-'08 squad is one of the most accomplished teams in UB Rugby history.

  • NYSRC Division I Champions 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008

  • NYSRC Tournament Champions 2003-2008

  • NRU Playoff Qualifier 2003-2008

  • NRU Final 4 2005, 2006, 2008

In addition to their team success, during their time with UB Rugby the group saw no less than 15 players selected as NYS All-Stars, and 9 players named to the Northeast Rugby Union College All-Star team.



 

Our weekend begins on Friday, May 2 with a happy hour at Rec Room Buffalo. Open bar and food will be provided.


On Saturday, we take to the legendary Ellicott Rugby Pitch on UB's North Campus as UB Rugby hosts the annual match vs. the alumni. Kickoff is at 1 pm.
