Kelly-Anne Drummond

Women's rugby rivals set for Drummond Cup

The No. 5-ranked Concordia Stingers women’s rugby team will host its crosstown rivals, the McGill Martlets, in the fifth annual Kelly-Anne Drummond Cup on Tuesday 29th September at 8 p.m. at Concordia Stadium

The game is symbolic of women's university rugby supremacy in Montreal and pays tribute to Kelly-Anne Drummond, a former Stinger who died tragically on Oct. 4, 2004. Her boyfriend was found guilty of stabbing her to death in April 2006.

This week the Stingers will celebrate Drummond’s spirit and love of rugby. She was a member of the Concordia women's rugby team from 1999 through 2001. A front row player, she was respected by her team-mates for her commitment to the game and her work ethic. She also charmed her many friends with her inquisitiveness and fun-loving approach to life. She graduated from Concordia University with a major in Communications in 2002.

After the game Doreen Haddad, Kelly-Anne’s mother, will present the trophy that bears her daughter's name to the captains of the winning team.

There is no charge to attend the exhibition game. However, Haddad and Concordia are asking spectators and participants to make a $5 donation at the gate to help support Women AWARE programs.

Women AWARE is a Montreal organization whose mission is to assist and empower women who have experienced conjugal violence through self-help and advocacy in order to improve their quality of life and affect social change.

(Please note that Women AWARE’s programs do not rely on donations of clothes and toys. However, donations of money are greatly appreciated in order to allow them to continue to educate people about the dangers of partner abuse in order to help prevent it and when that fails to help to direct those in need to available resources).
