Seattle Rugby Football Club

We are sad to report that Allan Feisst passed away last weekend. Allan was a die-hard Kiwi and a good mate, who loved to play heavens game. He played regularly in 1970-74, more or less, and then occasionally, followed up with making appearances for the Seattle Old Guard in the 1980's into the early 1990's.

Congratulations to our 7's squad. Beach beat Belmont Shore 26-17 to win their 5th National Title.
