MAKE HOMEPAGEJohn Reilly, a co-founder of the Brandon Barbarians Rugby Football Club in 1981, has been posthumously inducted into the Manitoba Rugby Hall of Fame.
Reilly served on the executive for 28 years in numerous capacities, including President, and was a force in the development of rugby in Western Manitoba. Following his untimely death in 2009, the North Pitch of Brandon’s Canada Games Rugby Park was renamed Reilly Field in recognition of his many contributions to the game.
In recognition of the 130-year history of the sport of rugby (first played in 1879) in Manitoba, a Manitoba Rugby Hall of Fame has been established as the result of a joint effort by the Friends of Rugby, Maple Grove Rugby Park and Rugby Manitoba.
