Wanted: a few good men.

The Valley Vintage Rugby Club is again this year looking for players aged 38 and older.

Weekly runs are held every Wednesday at 6 p.m. at the Langley Rugby Club field on Crush Crescent.

The season gets under way Saturday with a 10-aside festival in White Rock.

Sunday games kick off Sept. 12 at home against the Snowcaps from the North Shore.

This year, the total number of games has been reduced to allow players more time to plan alternate activities or family affairs.

The Vintage have been around since 1978, and have travelled extensively to Europe (the World Cup in 2007), New Zealand, the United States, and Eastern Canada.

A trip to the IRB Seven's in Las Vegas is being planned for February of 2011.

The style of rugby will appeal to those who have ended their club career, but who want to continue playing with teammates of their own age.

To get to the LRC field, turn north onto Crush Crescent from Glover Road. The posts can be seen sticking high in the air from Milner.

Practices and games are followed by some food, refreshment, and team bonding.

Interested players can come by the field on a Wednesday evening, or phone Gary at 604-230-0993.
