Scope note(s)

  • Appleby's rugby programme was officially founded in 1970 with Coach Jim Washington. However, early on in Appleby's history, rugby and football terms were used interchangeably in the Argus. In 1979-80, the Varsity team was the only team from Canada invited to compete in the World Schoolboys Seven-a-side tournament in England. Appleby finished 6th place from 18 countries. In 2002, Girls rugby was introduced into the athletic roster.
