Perennials Rugby

Club motto – Marcescentibus Abundans (Rich in Decaying Matter)

In August 1989 a touring team from Canada, the Kawartha Krocks were looking for a team of over 40’s to play rugby against in their tour of Ireland. As it was pre-season and no single club could gather together a team of over 40’s so early in the season, a few die hards, in the twilight of their playing careers, pulled together a team from numerous clubs to fulfil the fixture. From this match, friendships were made with players from all the clubs represented and the following month the Perennials were formed.

The aim of the club is to play eight to ten matches on an annual basis, against similar “mature” teams, tour on a regular basis and raise money for charity. To date they have succeeded on all three fronts.

The club is made up of members from Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, England, Scotland, South Africa, Canada and America who all enjoy the game of rugby, the friendship that it brings and give their support to raising money for charity.

The club has toured England, Scotland, Isle of Man, Ireland, America, Canada, Spain, and Portugal some on more than one occasion.

On the charity front the Perennials have raised over £350,000 in support of numerous charities and in essence this is what the Perennials are about.
