Crusaders Win Promotion to Shuto Division 1

Moving on up!

After four months of battling the elements and opposition in Shuto League Division 2, Tokyo Crusaders are awarded with promotion to the first division for the 2013/-14 season. Team captain Evan Hitchman steered his side to five consecutive wins, after narrowly losing the opening game in September – himself contributing in no small way with a 90+ conversion rate from the boot. The club management extend a hearty thank you to all players, family and fans who have supported the team during Shuto League. We continue with another four months of friendlies, mini-tournaments and great times out before an end of season dinner and tour in June. Don’t miss out on the fun! We’ll be building the team for next season, and whether you’re an experienced player or new to rugby now is the perfect time to join. The Crusaders are an international, keen and friendly side with players from all types of backgrounds.
