Mystic Gulls to Defend Bean Pot Title Tomorrow

The Mystic U19 Gulls will be travelling down to the Irish Cultural Center in Canton, MA tomorrow morning to defend their Bean Pot title. The U19s will be up against the club’s long-time rivals Boston as well as a North Shore team and two teams from their hosts, the Boston Irish Wolfhounds. The Mystics have won the tournament twice in its three year history, so they are definitely looking to keep their dominance alive with another victory tomorrow.

The Mystic U17 side will also be stepping on to the pitch in blue, and they will be raring to show the U19 guys how rugby ought to be played with flair and passion.

Support the Mystics at the 7s Nationals!

After a dominant Northeast 7s season, the Mystics have clinched their spot in the USA Rugby National Sweet 16 with two 25+ point victories at the Blazing 7s in New Jersey! The Mystics will be travelling to Des Moines, Iowa for the tournament on August 8-9. Given their strong showing in the Northeast competition, the Mystics are looking to make a serious run at Nationals this year. As part of that effort we want to support the guys on the squad by ensuring that the trip is not a huge financial burden for them.

We are running an IndieGoGo campaign to help raise money towards the overall costs of the trip, and are asking all Mystic supporters to help by donating any and all amounts, AND by spreading the word about the campaign. We are hoping to get donations of all amounts – you can donate $5, $10, $20 or as much as you can.
