International Rugby Matches Scheduled at Milton's Brooks Field

High-level rugby will return to Brooks Field at this month with matches from the Boston Rugby Club and the Boston Rugby Under 19 team hosting a pair of international opponents.

Milton resident Joe Dolan, the coach of the Milton High Rugby Club and an active player for the Boston Rugby Club, helped organize the two match-ups.

The Boston Rugby Club, which is a member of the USA Rugby Super League, will play on August 18 at 6 p.m. The Boston Rugby Club will face the Dungannon Rugby Club from Ulster, Northern Ireland.

According to Dolan, the game will be a collision of two top programs.

“Dungannon is a perennial powerhouse in Division 1 Irish Rugby, while Boston is ranked No. 3 in the USA Rugby Super League standings, the country's premier division,” Dolan said in an email.

Admission to the game will be $5 for adults and free for students.

The Boston Rugby Under 19 team will host the Duke of York School from Kent, England on Tuesday, August 23 at 6 p.m.  Admission for this match is free.

The Boston Club consists of players from Milton, Brookline, Xaverian, St Johns Prep and BC High.
