Springfield Celts Rugby Club

Welcome to Celts Rugby!

The Springfield Celts Rugby Club was established in 1975. The team was created by Dan Peters. He is also credited for starting anther team in Hillsboro,IL. Dan played rugby well into his 50's and still be seen on the field leaving young guys grabbing for air. Over the years the Celts have created a tradition of hard hitting rugby often taking the best of teams out of their game plan. This tradition has produced several tournament trophies and union victories. The legend of the "Green Jersey" has haunted the Midwestern region for many years. The young players hear of the stories of destruction and victory and continue to wear the Green Jersey with pride.
