Captain's Letter 

Thank you for all of your incredible generosity. It is your support that allows us to train, travel, compete, and most importantly to have the opportunity to continue to build upon the legacy of success that we have fortunately inherited. It is our aim to continue to add to the rich history you have given us and to develop the culture of teamwork that has long formed the framework of Franklin & Marshall Men's Rugby. 

Franklin & Marshall Men's Rugby is dedicated to developing leaders as well as lifelong friendships. This would not be possible without the support of the entire Franklin & Marshall Men's Rugby family. All of us who currently have the privilege of wearing the Diplomat Shield are extraordinarily grateful for your ongoing generosity, without which it would be impossible to accomplish our goals. We look forward to welcoming you to the Baker Campus Rugby Field to see a game this year. 

Best wishes,

Eetu Eklund '19, Captain 

Maxim Belioglo '20, Captian

Will Shaw '20, President
