Polish Veterans on the way to European Festival in Siedlce
RC Orkan Veterans, Sochaczew (photo 4), year of foundation 2015, september 30th Rugby Veterans Orkan Sochaczew although founded less than two years, had started to be involved with Old Rugby already in 2006.
Local Rugby Club had been founded in 1971 . . . as the part of MKS Orkan Sochaczew (founded 1924).
The veteran "starters" were Tomasz Grzywacz, Miroslaw Foryszewski, Jacek Janiak, Slawomir Krzesniak, Janusz Sobczyk, and Waldemar Blonski.
Today to the "Board Association" belong Zbigniew Dabrowski, Bogdan Pietrak, Tomasz Grzywacs, Slawomir Dudkowski and Robert Dlutek
The veteran team "gained the podium" rapidly, so that in 2011 the first ever Polish Veteran Championships was organised in Soczhaczew . . .
The 7th Championships in a row is to be held in Krakow and will be organized on June 3rd 2017 by Nowa Huta Rugby Klub, Polish rugby centre at the time being without a Veteran team . . . excellent opportunity also for them to start building own Veteran team.
Apart from 45th Anniversary of Rugby celebrations (2016) in Sochaczew, Orkan Veterans are having regularly different matches (like New Years - Valentins Day ones), together with the main event "Rugby Day in Sochaczew".
