AUGUST 27, 2022 | HOUSTON, TX
A legendary women’s national team player, a former Texas Rugby Union president, and a Dallas Harlequins stalwart comprise the TRU Hall of Fame Class of 2022 that will be inducted at the Union’s annual banquet in Houston, August 27 at the Hilton Hotel Houston – Greenway Plaza [MAP]. We hope you’ll join us as we welcome Meredith Ottens, Keith Engelbrecht and Gerry Acuna as the newest member of the HOF.
This year’s banquet will feature for the first time the awarding Distinguished Service Awards and the inaugural Alan Sharpley Memorial Award.
Beloved leader of the former Houston RFC Jim Cornelius, a former TRU VP, has been selected in the Club category. Texas A&M coaching pioneer Roger Boos will be honored with the Collegiate DSA. Rick Marshall, the first president of Rugby Texas and a long time leader of the Katy Barbarians program, was selected in the HS/Youth category. As previously announced, the 2001 Woodlands RFC XV will serve as this year’s Honor Team in recognition of its National D-II Championship. The first recipient of The Sharpley is the Houston SaberCats organization and its founders, former rugby players and principal owners Mike Loya and Marty Power, as well as co-founder Jeremy Turner.
