GO BLUE!

Mystic Nation,

It is with great sadness we have to report that the Mystics have lost another family member. John, Mort, and Richie’s older brother Dan passed away, surrounded by his family, on January 11th, after a long battle with cancer.

Dan was a fiercely loyal Mystic supporter for over 40 years, especially for his brothers, nephews, and all the Cambridge boys that wore blue. Dan also played a match or two for the Mystics in Braintree in the early 80s, making the Sullivan men the only four brother Mystic family to have taken the pitch for the club.

Dan will truly be remembered as a gentle giant who’s primary purpose, in a life well lived, was to help others. Dan loved nothing more than doing favors and kind gestures, small and large, for family, friends, acquaintances, or strangers.  He never expected or wanted anything in return. He simply enjoyed performing thoughtful deeds.

He was really one of a kind and will be dearly missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him.

Service Details:

Visitation – Thursday, January 16th from 4-8pm at Brown & Hickey Funeral Home in Belmont.

Funeral Service – Friday, January 17th at 11am at Brown & Hickey Funeral Home in Belmont.

Gentlemen,

It’s that time of year again. The time has come for us to celebrate the past season, give awards, and regret most of our decisions come morning. The party will be at Anthem Kitchen & Bar on Saturday February 8th 730PM to 1030PM.

There is a cash bar, and food will be provided. Tickets are $25 per head. Bring your livers, and prepare for a night that you’ll quickly rush to forget.

Please RSVP and purchase tickets on Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/2020-mystic-river-winter-party-tickets-88758514105

Go Blue!

Fellow Mystics,

As many of you already know, the Mystic River U19 Team is planning their biennial tour, which this year will take them to Italy.

The team is traveling to Italy from February 14-23, 2020.  The boys will be playing two international matches, training with international coaches, and going to see Italy v Scotland in Rome.

If any players, old boys, or family and friends would like to join the tour please email me at pbmclark@yahoo.com.

We are also beginning our fundraising efforts to subsidize the cost of the trip for our young Mystics.  We plan to hold a raffle to help offset the cost.

We are currently looking for donations of goods and services for the raffle so we can print up tickets and sell for the trip.

If you have access to any items that you would like to donate for the raffle please email Janet Bunnell at janet@jnbassociates.com and copy Mort Sullivan at primerugby@gmail.com

We will also be putting out sponsorship packages in the near future.

Thank you for all you do to support our youth program.

All the best, TC
