The men in the Midwest Rugby Union wouldn't let women join, so the ladies had to start their own union.
That was back in 1976, even before sports bras had been invented—and now the Chicago Women's Rugby Football Club ( CWRFC ) is proudly celebrating its 35th anniversary.
"It's hard to know where to start," Lisa Gartner said, reflecting on the anniversary. "So much has changed for women, sports-wise, since then. People from the Chicago Women's RFC were instrumental in this and other kinds of organizations at every level.
"Chicago Women's Rugby offered a place to express our strength and competitive spirits and, at least in our minds, our razor sharp wit. Friends I made then are still family."

This Movember the Chicago Riot Rugby Team has decided to donate their faces to raising awareness about cancers that affect men. Our commitment is the growth of moustaches for the entire month of Movember, which we know will generate conversation, controversy and laughter.
Our Rugby Team thought this would be a great way to give back while having a great excuse to grow a mustache.
We are doing this because:
- 1 in 2 men will be diagnosed with cancer in his lifetime.
- 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime
This is a cause that we feel passionately about and we are asking you to support our efforts by making a donation to support the great work of the Prostate Cancer Foundation and LIVESTRONG.
To help, you can either:
- Click this link http://us.movember.com/mospace/1137984/and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account
- Write a check payable to Movember, referencing my name or Registration Number 1137984
and mailing it to: Movember, PO Box 2726, Venice, CA 90294-2726
The money raised will help make a tangible difference to the lives of others, through the world’s most promising prostate cancer research and LIVESTRONG’s programs that support young adults and their families battling and surviving cancer.
