Denville Dawgs' Tess Feury talks about Rugby and her Future
Thursday, 10/22/09
Tess Feury, the daughter of Tom Feury, began playing flag rugby for Denville when she was four years old. Tess isn't just the coach's daughter, she happens to be a star and the fastest player on the team.

Rick Burchfield of Denville Rockaway This Week recently interviewed Tess about the Denville Dawgs, flag rugby, sports in general and Tess's promising future.

For Tom Feury, the idea of starting a youth rugby program in Morris County first struck him at the 1998 Can-Am Rugby tournament in Saranac Lake. At the time, his oldest child Blaze, then 6, participated in Saranac's youth rugby clinic organized by Pat Walsh who was then the pioneer of touch rugby in the Baltimore area. With the future of the Morris Old Boys in doubt and A side play beginning to take its toll on Feury's aging body and his children coming of age, youth rugby appeared to be a new potential rugby career extender.
