Spring Hill College Rugby Club Joins Deep South

The administration of the Deep South Rugby Union is very pleased to welcome the Spring Hill College Men’s Collegiate Rugby Club into the Deep South Rugby family. 

Some of the longtime Deep South members may remember that Spring Hill Rugby Club was founded in the late 1960’s or early 1970’s and was a staple club until the early 2000’s.  Though the club disappeared from competition for a number of years they are back. 

This Jesuit school is located in Mobile, Alabama, founded in 1830, Spring Hill College is Alabama’s oldest institution of higher learning.  As more and more of the Catholic High Schools around the country start rugby teams, Spring Hill is poised to build quickly.  The Deep South Rugby Union is pleased they have choosen to join our growing LAU.

Spring Hill College Rugby Club will join the Deep South as a Men’s Collegiate Division III club, beginning play in the Fall of 2009.   Please help us in welcoming Spring Hill College back to the Deep South Rugby Union.
