UPDATE: Match canceled due to school cancellation. Check out the schedule for future games.
If you’re looking for something very Irish to do on St. Patrick’s Day why not go and watch the opening rugby match of the season for Greenwich’s State Champions High School Rugby Team. There’s nothing more Irish then a great game of rugby!
The opening game on March 17 invites the New Rochelle, New York team to a very challenging and exciting match and is sure to entertain and educate if you are not familiar with the sport. Check the Greenwich Rugby schedule if you can’t make this match but would like to see one before the season ends. See the full schedule here.
For a short primer on the sport watch this short 4 1/2 minute video on the basics of the game.
After the game head over to MacKenzie’s Grill Room in Old Greenwich – 148 Sound Beach Avenue – and try the special Celtic Menu running through March, featuring yummy corned beef and cabbage, Irish bangers and Irish stew.
Don’t miss the St. Paddy’s day parade in Greenwich on March 21 which runs from town hall and finishes on Steamboat running through the Avenue. Click here for more information. The Ginger Man on Greenwich Avenue is offering an Irish Menu the day of the parade with Irish entertainment sure to please.
