The Druids Rugby team after making the semifinals of the 2011 Christmas 7s in Richmond, Virginia.
Playing in their first tournament ever, the new Druids invitational sevens rugby team overcame injury woes and player unavailability to reach the semifinals of their first ever tournament appearance at the James River Rugby Club’s Christmas 7s tournament in Richmond, Virginia.
The Druids are a new invitational sevens rugby team based in the Blue Ridge area of Southwest Virginia. The Druids’ goal is to provide area players with the chance to join together and play quality sevens rugby when they are not busy playing for their primary rugby teams. Founded by former Blacksburg Rugby standout Craig Bucher and coached by longtime veteran rugby player and coach Perry Pence, the Druids plan to draw players from area fifteen-a-side college and club teams to train and play together in seven-a-side tournaments across the Mid-Atlantic region during breaks in the players’ fifteen-a-side commitments. The Druids team in Richmond included representatives from Blacksburg, Roanoke, and Washington Irish. read more
