Great day of rugby! Two dozen women ready to play!!
Rugby is a great game and a great culture, let’s all work to make this game better for all of Iowa and all Iowans.
The Iowa Falls Rugby Club opened their Fall League competition September 7 against River City of Mason City at the local pitch. Iowa Falls quickly took the lead in the first 4 minutes with Willem Dreyer crashing through four tackles for a 5 point lead. The pace of the match changed to back and forth offensive attacks until River City’s wing scrampered around IFRFC’s defense to lead 5 – 7. Jake Miller was able to recapture the momentum with a try shortly before half time Iowa Falls leading 10 – 7.The second half scoring quickly continued with Craig Pruismann, Markey Felix , and Justin Liekweg adding tries to push the score to 29 – 7. River City was able to add two late tries with Justin Liekweg adding another try for the local club for IFRFC victory 36 – 17. The Iowa Falls Rugby Club ‘s next match is September 14 in Des Moines.
Here it is. The triple-final 2019 All Iowa game schedule. Note this year we are hosting the Midwest Western division LAU Select Side games on Field 1. Come on down to Iowa Falls and support the Iowa rugby community and be part of the fastest-growing sport in the country!
Ran across a piece of interesting history today when someone asked me about the largest All Iowa Tournament we ever hosted in Iowa Falls. 2002 was the year, 34 teams and 55 games scheduled. These show pairings, results, referee names and the teams that did not attend. UNI men and Women were playing for National Titles.
Teams like Gopher College, Quad City Irish, Altoona Wolfpack, Jones County, Grinnell, Coe College, Central College, Drake and Dubuque were still with us.
Great Rugby memories!

The Iowa Falls Rugby Club would like to invite you to attend the 46th Annual All Iowa Rugby Tournament. It was determined to use the Saturday 15’s – Sunday 7’s format for the All Iowa to be held in Iowa Falls May 4-5 2019. We will be encouraging out of state teams to join us again this year. This format embodies a festival atmosphere and as always we are planning for great camping weather, free firewood and showers to make your weekend even more memorable!
