Brantford Harlequins

The Brantford Harlequins Rugby Football Club, also known as the "Quins", is a collection of rugby union teams situated in Brantford, Ontario. The current teams include two ORU Senior Men's teams, one Niagara Rugby Union Men's team, and one Niagara Rugby Union Women's Team.

History

The Harlequins were first envisioned by brothers George and Vince Jones in 1950 when the Toronto Star published a notice that British Rugby was going to become popular again. The brothers replied immediately and stated that the Brantford area may have enough players to be able to support a team. The Harlequins played their first game on September 30th, 1950 against the Toronto Nomads despite only having 4 players available.[1]
