Save the Black Rooster!
Hedley Lagrand
9/28/2009 12:04:00 PM
I have frequented the Black Rooster Pub many times during my time in DC and is a proud sponsor of Northern Virginia Rugby Football Club, whose woman's team I have had the pleasure of refereeing. Its been a pillar of the community for over 39 years and I, along with many others, would like to see continue serving the locals and visitors to the Capital.
If you are in DC and would like to help, please swing by the pub on 1919 L Street NW and sign the petition. If not, you can still help by joining their Facebook group. I will post some updates as things progress.

The Womens Premier league got kicked off a few weekends ago here in the US and for anyone who is interested, there are some great sites to follow the action. One of my personal favs in Your Scrumhalf Connection which is a great site with lots of info on the league and Womens rugby in general. I also recommend two of the official league sites, USA Rugby and Womens Premier League blog.
If anyone has any news that they would love to share, please post a comment or tweet me.
