Gainesville Hogs Rugby

Tough, physical, and back-and-forth until the end — Saturday’s match was everything playoff rugby should be. Both teams traded the lead, but when the final whistle blew, your Hogs came up short. That’s not the ending we wanted, but there’s no question the guys left everything on that pitch.

Thank you to Sarasota for making the trip up and giving us exactly the kind of battle we expected. Best of luck the rest of the way. 🤝

A huge thank you to SilverQ for once again hosting the best post-match social in the game 🍻 and to Long Drink for keeping everyone refreshed. 💚

Now we close out the season right — end of year banquet coming up, and then it’s 7s season. Summer tourneys are on the horizon and we’ll have updates soon.

To everyone who came out, cheered us on, and supported this club throughout the season — thank you. It means everything. Stay tuned to our socials and website for what’s next.

Eoin Quinlivan.

When you talk about what it means to be a Gainesville Hog, you’re talking about Eoin. An Original Hog from day one in 2003, he stayed active with this club longer than any other founding member — 15 years on the pitch, all the way through 2018.

Playing Lock, Eoin was part of the foundation that built this club into a winning program. And the hardware speaks for itself:

🏆 D3 Champions: 2007, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017
🏆 South Champions: 2007

Seven D3 titles. That tells you everything you need to know.

But beyond the trophies, Eoin represents something bigger — the kind of loyalty and commitment that a club is built on. He was here at the beginning, and he kept showing up, year after year, season after season.

That’s an Original Hog. 🐗

📅 Join us THIS SATURDAY, March 21st for Alumni Weekend at Squirrel Ridge Park as we celebrate Eoin and all of our Hall of Fame inductees.
