Toronto Saracens Annual Brunch

What an unforgettable day at our annual brunch, as we gathered our alumni together! It was great to see so many join us, sharing old stories and catching up over a few pints.
It was a true honour to have Clay deliver a speech, reminding us of the values that make our club so special. At 100 years young, he still knows how to make a crowd laugh with his wit and memories shared.
Thank you to all those who attended and continue to support our club’s growth. This sense of community is what makes our club a family, and we can’t wait to celebrate it in a big way next year as we mark our 70th anniversary!

Sevens Clinic with Josiah Morra

Our first Toronto Sevens Clinic with Josiah Morra was a success! We had more than 50 players come out on May 31 at Sunnybrook Park. Thank you to all the players you came out to practice and Josiah for coaching our next generation.

Toronto Saracens Golf Tournament

The annual Saracens Golf tournament is rapidly approaching. There are no spaces for walk-ons so we need to know who is coming before the event (and it is an event!).

Alumni Clay Dight celebrates his 100th birthday!

Happy 100th Birthday to Saracen rugby alum, Clay Dight, who celebrated his centennial on April 9, 2023! The Saracen Alumni community showed up in force to celebrate with Clay, with Bobby Johnston traveling all the way from the UK and Elwyn Davies coming from the US to join in the festivities. How many 100 year olds could hunker down in the front row for a photo. Congratulations Clay, from all of the Saracens Alumni!
