Tomorrow night will see Bermuda Onions Rugby Football Club return to action with a trio of matches scheduled against the Limeys at BAA Field.

The Mini-Onions Under-12 team (the Shallots) will kick off against the Mini-Limeys at 5.15 p.m. followed by the Women's Onions team against the Women's Rest at 6 p.m. with the showcase men's event scheduled for 6.30 p.m.

Bermuda Onions RFC was formed in Bermuda rugby's heyday of the early 1990s.

Following an ambitious tour to the Far East in 1992 by the Bermuda national team, Bermudians Robert Blee, David Cooke, Alvin Harvey and William McNiven founded the club to offer fellow Bermudians more opportunity to be involved in the sport.

The match between the Bermudian-only club and the Limeys, a team made up of English expatriates, used to be a permanent fixture on the Bermuda rugby schedule. However, it lay dormant for years after founding members of the Onions gravitated away from the game. "We are back", stressed club president Heath Robinson yesterday.

"The Onions club has been revitalised with a new organising committee and we are preparing for a very active year," he said.

"We are looking at entering several local and international tournaments including the Bermuda Sevens, Cayman Sevens, Caribbean Championship Sevens in Trinidad and the Montreal Sevens, as well as playing in 15-a-side tournaments."

The new Bermuda Onions RFC committee is comprised of chairman Derek Hurdle sr, vice-president Ross Webber, secretary David Cooke and treasurer Robert Blee.

Sponsors who have agreed to assist in the rebirth of the cub include Conyers Dill & Pearman, ACE Bermuda, Gray & Co. C-Mart and Attride-Stirling & Woloniecki.

Admission to tomorrow's games will be free and a meal and refreshments will be served in the BAA clubhouse at 8 p.m.
