OMBAC Rugby is very pleased to announce we have secured a new head coach for the 2012 season.
October 15th, 2011 
admin Eugene “Gene” Mountjoy will be leading the team in pursuit of its 15th National Championship. A native of South Africa, Gene most recently coached at Boston College and Boston RFC, a Super League side. Prior experience include being on the staff for the USA men’s national team as forwards coach as well as head coach of other men’s clubs in the Northeast US.
Gene is looking forward to relocating to San Diego in mid-November to oversee the club’s pre-season efforts and lay the groundwork for a successful 2012 season.
This hiring was the result of an extensive worldwide search that identified over a dozen suitable candidates referred from OMBAC network. We extend thanks to friends of OMBAC Rugby who participated in the vetting process and helped identify the best overall candidate for the position.
Stay tuned for further announcements as we round out appointments of other coaching staff and administrators, and deliver the pre-season schedule.
Yours in Rugby,
Bill “Chief” Leversee

Positives despite D1 loss; D3 also lose – 3/19/201
May 19th, 2011 admin D1(A) lost 25-33; D1(B) lost; D3 lost 24-55
The D1 team played Belmont Shore on Saturday and were handed their third straight defeat. Despite another narrow loss, Coach Penistone was encouraged by players showing signs of returning to the good form that enabled the team to win five straight games at the start of the season. D1 will be looking to take that momentum into their game against Santa Monica at home this weekend (3/26/11).
D3 were beaten by a much improved Oxy Olde Boys, 24-55. Due to a change in the schedule, D3 now has a week off to refocus and will play their next game against the South Bay Rhinos at the Little Q on April 2nd.
