Old Gaelic Provides New Year’s Resolutions

Leave a reply

To welcome in 2024, Old Gaelic has bonded together to commit to the most disciplined of sacrifices: Sobriety until April.

But seriously, Old Gaelic reflects fondly upon a very successful 2023 and looks ahead to bigger things in 2024. Consider Old Gaelic’s successes from the past year:

  • Undefeated Fall 15s Campaign
  • South Jersey and Pagoda 7s Championships
  • Atlantic Cup (over 35) Championship
  • Overall 9-1 15s Record in A-Side Matches
  • 3rd Place in EPRU 7s Series
  • Provided Core for Central Penn’s Top 5 Finish in MAC Premier 7s, the best competition in the country

And yet we remain hungry! Old Gaelic comes into the 2024 focused on one goal, and one goal only. To win the EPRU and go on a Nationals run! It will take a lot of work on and off the field, but we know we’ve got it what it takes.

Cheers to all Gaelics, young and old. Happy New Year, and we wish you the best on and off the field in 2024.

One for Piglegs: Old Gaelic Wins on Final Play

1 Reply

Old Gaelic hosted defending division champion Philly Whitemarsh on a gorgeous Fall Saturday. With heavy hearts and thoughts of Robbie “Piglegs” Morris the Gold focused and methodically executed for the first 40 minutes of the match. Dominating possession and territory, Old Gaelic built a 16-0 lead via three penalty kicks from Captain and Fly Half Brady Reisman, before the game’s first try from lock Dante Ngo, and the successful conversion on the last play of the half. 

From there the Gaelic offense stalled, however, as numerous opportunities to put the game on ice were dropped. Whitemarsh accepted the gifts and patiently crawled back into the match before potentially stealing it in the 77th minute with a converted try and 20-16 lead. 

The Rugby Gods smiled upon the home team, however, as a kick deep in Whitemarsh territory was dropped and a scrum awarded. A dozen patient phases and picks and goes later, scrum half Jonah Roth passed the ball weak to the “Pig on the wing,” and hooker Sergio Acala barreled in for the game-winning try well into stoppage time. 

A post-game huddle and “Somewhere Under the Goalposts” tribute to Robbie ensued before the B Side and a great social with the Rugby World Cup Final on in the shed. After a quick wardrobe change, it was off to the OG Halloween Party at longtime Captain Hart’s house to celebrate the win! 

Cheers to the Gaelic and RIP Robbie! 

Old Gaelic Says Goodbye to Longtime Member Robbie Morris

Leave a reply

Robbie Morris, longtime Old Gaelic club member, Old Boy, creator of this very Nose newsletter, founder of the World Famous Five Neat Guys and writer/creator of many of the band’s most cherished hits passed away Saturday morning, October 28.

Robbie was also the primary historian for “Canoeing at the Slum,” the impetus and first story for the rebooted, current e-version of The Nose.

“Pig legs” was a hooker for Old Gaelic through the 70s and 80s and continued to be a regular at home matches and OG events throughout the rest of his life.

He received a group visit from his closest Gaelic friends days before his passing, and was surrounded by family Saturday morning. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Cancer Society in Robbie’s name. RIP, Rugger. You can read the “on-field” tribute via dramatic rivalry win on Saturday afternoon here.

Here is a collection of comments and stories written into the Old Boys’ email thread upon news of his terminally ill status:

Robbie is a great guy and a true friend. He gave Old Gaelic a lot: “The Nose,” the griffin on our patch, the five neat guys for which he bought the jackets and other hats, wigs, etc.; he was Vice President when the club elected president’s like Dumont (multiple terms), Elvis, and other nonsensical presidents, which meant Robbie was doing the president’s duties behind the scenes. He was also song writer extraordinaire and made sure Old Gaelic always won the parties. And he was a great hooker as well. (Back in the days when feeding was a penalty he stole more put-ins than any hooker I ever played with). He was very creative for and dedicated to all things Gaelic. I am proud to call him my friend. I wish him all the best luck in the world.

He was there for me after the bad accident in the late 70’s. My heart is with him. A great NEAT GUY!

Prayers for you pig legs and the family. I was just a kid (17) when I came to old Gaelic and got to play some Killer B’s with Robbie. Looking for a miracle healthy movement.

So many great absolutely ridiculously funny times with Robbie at the epicenter of all things OGRC!

… and countless well wishes/prayers for miracles.

“When the President does it, that means that it is not illegal” — Diegel Made Disciplinary Chair in Dubious EPRU Decision

Leave a reply

It was a bigger upset than Colorado over TCU. A more ghastly result than what awaits after eating a KFC Double Down sandwich. In a historic turn of events with unforeseen consequences, grizzled rule-bending forward Alex Diegel was voted as the EPRU’s Disciplinary Chair on a dark and stormy Sunday night.

“I’ve heard him threaten to murder someone on more than one occasion,” said frightened wing Alex Schaefer. “Then he showed me the knife!”

“As someone who has played 17 years, gotten plenty of yellow cards, but no reds, I think I know where the line is,” Diegel explained in his campaign.* “That’s why I think you should vote for me. Or don’t. I don’t fuckin’ care.”

After the surprising result, the Gaelic President was forced to reflect on the historic nature of this election. “I supposed if I’m caught now, I’ll have to turn to the boys, look them in the eyes and quote one of my heroes:”

“Suck my wiener,” local crooked cop Chris Armbrust was soon heard to say to the new Disciplinary Chair, in what could only be taken as some sort of odd attempt to solicit a bribe. (That’s not how bribes work, Chris).

This is an ongoing story and will be updated.

* Yes, this was an actual campaign quote.

Summer Brugby Recap

Leave a reply

Look, we get it. Your letters to the editor have been received and quickly discarded. It’s been awhile since the esteemed editors of The Nose have put together the sterling publication you have come to rely on for all things Old Gaelic. Here’s a recap of the what your favorite rugby club has been up to the last few months.

  • The Old Gaelic-powered Central Penn 7s took 5th in MAC. The Mid-Atlantic once again proved to be the best conference in the country, sending four teams to Nationals, including the now two-time National Champions. Central Penn proved to be a competitive, scrappy bunch with a bright future. The 7s program had enough depth to sustain two teams, as Old Gaelic competed in the EPRU Club Division and secured third place.
  • Cappy, Diegel, Jase and JT “Found Away” to secure the Championship at the 2023 World Hoops Championship. This win was secured without controversy.
  • A dominant OGREs squad won the 2023 Atlantic Cup. A fresh wave of new/old talent proved too much, as the OGREs avenged last year’s Championship loss and secured the Kick/Boogie Board.

Old Gaelic Wins Sloppy Scrimmage vs. Harrisburg

Leave a reply

Old Gaelic went across the river to visit its old rivals Harrisburg on a steamy Saturday afternoon. With just a handful of practices and plenty of new faces in new places, rust was expected and apparent, but the visitors ultimately took care of business, 38-10

Old Gaelic scored its first with a dive from Kory Harris in the corner, but Harrisburg came back with a break from Central Penn 7s player Peter Tantillo. Mike DeFreitas, playing his first game at 8 man (on his Birthday, no less), scored next for Gaelic, but Harrisburg came back to keep things interesting early. From there, Gaelic grinded for 24 unanswered points to extend the scoreline and secure the win.

JT Hammond followed a break from fullback Caleb “Scurvy” Thompson, Chris Armrbrust quickly scored after moving back into the pack following a debut at center, Tyler Johnson dotted one down from the 13 position amidst his first Gaelic “cap,” then it was trusted veteran hooker Dano finishing off the match with a penalty kick to mark the game’s final score.

Next up, Gaelic will have two much-needed practices to tighten things up before taking on a tough Roses team in Lancaster in the first league match of the season.

Old Gaelic Kicks off Year with 7s Championship; 2023 Schedule Comes into Focus

Leave a reply

Old Gaelic traveled to Cherry Hill, NJ and left the South Jersey Dragons’ home pitch with a championship trophy in hand. OG proved too much for the opposition, with a perfect 6-0 record in a dominant run toward the Cup. 

Kory Harris and MSM import “Eyyoo” Ayo proved too much for defenses with long tries throughout the day, with Amer returning to OG to dot a couple down for Mother Bosnia. A cadre of powerful and athletic forwards beat up the middle of the field to open up space, while Richard “Squirrel Master” Recordon put it all together with strong play at scrum half throughout the day. Congratulations to all who made the trip and braved the wind and cold throughout the day. 

After kicking the year off with the 7s Tournament win, it’s a good time to look at the 2023 pre and regular season schedules.
