Stowe Rugby Club wins New England title
We’ve got a great crew and with that comes great news! Two of our own solar designers, Sam Lau and Chris Heine, recently celebrated winning the New England Rugby Championship. Their team was undefeated this year with a perfect 10-0 record. Heine and Lau put their heart into this team often arriving at our Monday morning meetings with bruises and stitches from the weekend matches.
We had a great season which was the product of hard work, an excellent player pool and good coaching. – Sam Lau
Our entire SunCommon crew wants to wish Heine and Lau a hearty congratulations for an impressive season!
