Welcome to the Red deer Titans
Rugby Union
In 1972 the Red Deer Titans Rugby Football Club was established by the ancient
ones: Jake Jacobs, Cor Ouwerkerk, Ron Stengler, Aydon Lemmon, Dave Thomas, Craig
Ashley, Vern Caddy, Bill Greenwood and many others. Practicing out of the Red
Deer College and playing a series of friendlies, the Titans won a few games
against Calgary teams.
In 1973 the Titans entered officially in the Calgary Second Division
winning Provincial Titles in 1973 and 1975. The Club won Edmonton RU Second Div,
Championships in 1976, '81, '93, '98; Third Division Provincial Championships in
1987 and 2002. Two Junior Boys titles were won in 1981 and 1982. 2002 Alberta
Summer Games Gold Medal for Boys and Silver for Girls. 2004 AB Summer Games
Silver for Girls and Bronze for Boys.
In 2004 the Titans transferred from Edmonton to the Calgary Rugby Union where
they competed in the Spring Cup First Division.
Titans Rugby Park:
A decade of smoke infested bingos garnered the funding to enable the Club to
purchase 15 acres in the McKenzie Subdivision south of Red Deer in 1990 for
$65,500. After two long years of careful lobbying, permission to build our
rugby park was granted.
Construction began in the fall of 1993. The first stage was completed in the
spring of 1994 and the Titans began playing out of beautiful Titans Rugby Park.
The Park consists of two pristine pitches, parking for 300 vehicles, Clubhouse
with four changing rooms, showers, bathrooms, large banquet style Club Room
seating 90 people, two tiered deck, bar and kitchen. This winter the basement
will be developed into more change rooms, showers, bathrooms, and storage to
accommodate the growth in the sport. Titans Rugby Park will be the venue for
the Alberta Summer Games Rugby July 27 - 30, 2006.
