The Kingston Panthers Old Boys are rugby men over the age of 35 who are interested in playing competitive rugby in the Spring and Fall seasons. Currently we arrange home and away games versus Ottawa, Belleville, and Peterborough, and have approximately 23 men registered and actively playing. There are opportunities to also attend “All Comers” games organized by various clubs throughout the region and to participate in tournament play each summer.

Our games are held on Sunday afternoons at 1:30pm. We play at our club pitch, located behind (QECVI) Queen Elizabeth Collegiate on Kirkpatrick Street in Kingston. We often arrange a car pool to our away games and meet at The Days Inn parking lot up by the 401 off Division Street.

Old Boys matches are played under the same IRB laws of the game as our Senior Men use with a few accommodations:

• -Old Boys are permitted to substitute players on any whistle.
• -A player may enter and exit the game numerous times throughout the match.
• -Games are broken into four fifteen minute quarters.
• -Old Boys generally do not kick converts in league play and only keep track of the tries scored.
• -Players over the age of 60 can opt to wear purple (denoting royalty) shorts which indicates they have chosen to play the game, but wish to avoid full contact. With ball in-hand, they must stop and post the ball to ground or present the ball for a maul when touched by a defender.

Our major sponsor over the years has been The Pilot House at the corner of Johnson and King Streets. We always host visiting teams down to the pub after each home game to share a meal, a beer or two, and to celebrate good play and mess ups from the on-field fun.

We don’t hold separate practice times, as members are welcome to train with the Senior Men and participate in the drills, and fitness sessions as they see fit. Training, if interested, takes place at QECVI on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6pm if interested.

2012 Indoor training will be starting shortly. Stay tuned for more information on dates and times soon.

All players must register annually with the club to be eligible to play or practice. This season there will be the option to register on-line . Registration information is located here:

Our dues for 2012 have yet to be determined, but should be approximately around what they were this past season $250-$325 (depending on whether you intend to play solely Over 35 Old Boys, or also some games with the Senior 2nd Div Men with the extra insurance cost).
