Cincinnati Kelts Rugby Football Club

Tomorrow the women’s team takes on Fort Wayne in a sweltering hot match. Come out to the pitch and catch this double header with the men’s team at 11 AM!! Let’s go Kelts!! ❤️💙💚

Extra extra! D3 men kick off their competitive fall season against familiar foes Louisville Rugby Football Club . Kickoff is at 1 PM at Kellogg Field following the conclusion of the Kelts Women’s match vs. Fort Wayne. Midwest Rugby called this the D3 game of the week! You won’t want to miss out on any of the action. Hopefully it won’t be a torrential downpour this time either!

In our home opener the Cincinnati Kelts women battled a tough and talented Circle City Tempest side in a hard-fought match that pushed us in every way. After a few injuries, we found ourselves down to just 13 players—but down didn’t mean out. Every player on that field stepped up. We fought for each other, adapted, kept pushing, and refused to give up until the final whistle. We learned a lot about ourselves in this match, and there are plenty of takeaways we’ll carry forward. Most importantly, we saw the grit, resilience, and heart that this team has. Games like this is where our new players find out what being a kelt really means. In the face of adversity, we don’t quit. We keep our heads high and pick each other up. The score wasn’t what we wanted but our kelts gave it all we had for 80 minutes of rugby. Brick by brick, this resilient kelts squad is rebuilding what generations of kelts women built before us. Now it’s our turn to carry that legacy forward, rebuild the culture, and leave it stronger than we found it.

We couldn’t be prouder of every player who put on the Kelts jersey Saturday. ❤️💙💚

We’ll cover the basics, answer every question (seriously—there are no dumb questions), get moving, and if you want to stick around afterward, our coaches will be happy to help with individual skills or anything you’d like to work on. No pressure, no expectations—just a chance to learn and meet the team.

Our first official practice is Tuesday 8/11 at 6:30 PM, so this is the perfect opportunity to get comfortable before the season begins.

We can’t wait to meet some new teammates. 💙💚❤️
