Charlotte Rugby Football Club is a SuperLeague rugby union team based in Charlotte, North Carolina.
[edit] History
Charlotte RFC formed in 1971 by former college rugby players living in the Charlotte area. In 1974, some of the players decided to leave and form a separate club, the Charlotte Gargoyles. The succession prompted Charlotte RFC to adopt the nickname "Olde Originals" to distinguish themselves from the other Charlotte team. [1]
[edit] Grounds
The Olde Originals play their matches at the Skillbeck Athletic Grounds. Built in 1988, the grounds includes a 5,800 ft² clubhouse with a 900 ft² deck overlooking the pitch. The grounds also has an apartment for the players and a bar room for social events. When it was first built, it was considered to be one of the finest rugby facilities in the country.
