4 Old Glory 2021 Letter from the owners

Old Glory Nation –

How very quickly time passes and things change.

Fewer than four months ago, we had no certainty that we would be able to play any of our MLR 2021 season games, or that we would be able to allow any fans to enjoy the experience with us in person. In fact, Old Glory lost our whole pre-season to COVID-related cancellations, and most of our regular season until now has been played in front of heavily restricted crowds.

Today, MLR has played every single game scheduled for the 2021 season to date, and Old Glory is hosting its home matches at Segra Field with no restrictions on capacity. We are not only playing every scheduled game and working to fill our stadium to its 5,000-seat capacity, but we have also returned to our tradition of a full event day, providing entertainment for both hard-core rugby fans and entire families new to the game, from our kids’ zone games to culturally-themed events like Pacific Islanders Day, to the highest quality of rugby ever played in North America.

We must acknowledge honestly that Old Glory has experienced its challenges along the way. Following a 4-1 COVID-shortened 2020 season, we now face the final five games of the 2021 regular season standing in the lower half of the Eastern Conference table and with a playoff position distant -- but not entirely out of reach.

It is now – when we have fought our way through the worst conditions that a pandemic and economic crisis could throw at us, , as an organization and as a team – that we need our fans most. Over the last year, the sporting world has been reminded that fans are the most important ingredient to a sporting event. The game and atmosphere are not the same without you. Old Glory is known throughout MLR for is raucously supportive home crowd and the home field advantage that results. Now is when we appeal to you, for our final three home games, to come out and support us in force.

For the next three games – June 12 vs NOLA, July 10 vs San Diego, and July 17 vs Austin – come and support Old Glory. Come out and cheer your home team to victory. Return to participate in the rugby community of the Mid-Atlantic. Or perhaps come out and support a new discovery for you – the most exciting new professional sport in Greater Washington.

Help us return to Glory. We look forward to seeing you at Segra Field!

Chris Dunlavey and Paul Sheehy

Old Glory 2021 23 Clonakilty Distillery and Old Glory's Gold Ticket Legacy Bottle Win a Trip to Ireland!

We’ve said it before, we’ll say it again: Old Glory has the best supporters in MLR – maybe in all of professional rugby. Why? It’s not just the support you show for our team on the pitch – which is incredible. It’s also because you naturally understand and embrace the unique culture of the rugby community of the Mid-Atlantic, out of which Old Glory was born, and which we are proud to represent.

During this season, despite all the challenges 2021 has brought us, we feel that we discovered one of the best new examples of rugby culture in our partnership with Clonakilty Distillery. Already, the Old Glory Captain’s Bottle has become a symbol throughout MLR of the rugby ethos – that moment when the most bitter of enemies on the pitch meet after the match for expressions of mutual respect and shared reward for the battle fought honorably and well.

We know (because we’ve seen it in our social media and heard t directly from you) that many of you have enjoyed a Captain’s Bottle (or two, or more!) or even invested in a Golden Ticket Legacy Bot- tle. Now, however, we would like to make a special appeal, along with sharing some information you may not know.

We’d like to invite and encourage all of our supporters to consi- der investing in a Clonakilty Golden Ticket Legacy Bottle. Yes, the Legacy Bottle is priced as the premium Irish whiskey it is, and we certainly realize it’s not in everyone’s budget to purchase one or more of these treasures. However, what’s important for you to know is that every Legacy Bottle sold by Clonakilty provides a sig- nificant and direct financial contribution to Old Glory. This means that everything we are trying to do, to grow rugby in our region – from the creation of the Old Glory academy system and support for grassroots youth clubs, to the training, housing and welfare of the professional players we cultivate in our region and recruit from around the world – benefits from your support each time you purchase a bottle.

24 Old Glory 2021 Already bought a Legacy Bottle? We thank you from the bottoms of our hearts. Think you might like another? Every bottle you buy helps Old Glory a little more. Looking for a perfect Father’s Day gift? As Dads ourselves, we can report with confidence that we can’t think of another gift we’d enjoy better. Got a hankering to return to travel once things get back to normal? Don’t forget that a Golden Ticket Legacy Bottle gets you a shot at a free trip to Ireland – and with pretty good odds at that, given the limited run! And those odds only improve with each bottle you buy. . . .

As always, we thank you for your incredible support and look forward to seeing you back out at the pitch.

Go OG!!!

40 Old Glory 2021 Rugby 101 It's like a game of “ chess under fatigue.

Rules of Rugby 15

Two teams of 15 players have 80 minutes to advance the ball past their opponents' side of the field (pitch) and touch it to the ground for a score worth 5 points (try). Participants may only pass the ball backwards or sideways with no blocking allowed; using a variety of phases such as lineouts, mauls, rucks and scrums to retain possession during play. Rugby is unique in that play is continuous even after players are tackled on the field. Kicking is the only method by which both teams may move the ball forward.

After each try, worth 5 points, the scoring team is allowed an opportunity to kick the ball through the posts for an additional 2 points (conversion). Certain penalties also earn the non-offending team a kick through the posts, worth 3 points (penalty) if made. At the conclusion of the match, the team with the most points wins.

46 Old Glory 2021 REBOOTING EDUCATION WITH FURNITURE AND SANITATION It’s 2021 and schools are faced with the complex task of getting students, faculty, and staff back into classrooms safely. This task will require a variety of well thought out plans. Plans that address the lo- gistics and scheduling of a greater number of smaller class sizes and plans that support keeping those spaces clean. With extensive experience, Impact Office can help ease the stress of designing and exe- cuting these plans. FURNITURE Desk and table shields with mobile and multi-func- tional furniture is one key factor in making spaces both safe and flexible. Creative plans will include scenarios for how and when to turn a gymnasium, cafeteria, or common area into a classroom and back in minutes. Flip-top tables can be nested and moved aside quickly when not in use. These tables and shields can also create health checkpoints, sanitation stations, and help direct the flow of traf- fic at building entrances and in common areas. this combined with clear and consistent signage will ensure students and faculty have the time and space to keep safe. SANITATION Knowing the difference between cleaning, disinfecting and sanitizing and when to do each is the second key to developing you plan. To start, what is the difference?

• Cleaning: removes visible dirt, soil and de- bris – it does not disinfect.

• Disinfecting: eliminates bacteria, fungi and certain viruses – it does not remove dirt.

• Sanitizing: reduces the number of germs on surfaces or objects to a safe level, as judged by public health standards or requirements – it does not fully eliminate them. Sanitizing and disinfecting products also vary in their dwell time (the length of time that a chemical must be in contact with the surface and remain wet, in order to achieve the product’s advertised kill rate.) Dwell times can range from a matter of seconds to 10 minutes. Our janitorial and sanitation experts are here to help recommend the best products for your space and put your plan in place. While the situation with the pandemic is rapidly evolving in every direction, it is important that the solutions you create are adaptable and resilient. Designing a creative plan to keep your faculty and students safe with the ability to flex will help reduce infection and create a stable learning environment.
