In an announcement made on Tuesday July 15th, Mystic River RFC and Middlesex Barbarians Rugby Club declared the two teams were merging. (See http://www.mysticrugby.com/ for the announcement).
Mystic has been a regular on the local Division 1 circuit for years, and the club has had several recent playoff experiences and has successfully allocated time to it’s youth program. Middlesex is a much younger club, having being formed in 2002, but enjoyed rapid promotion due to a string of undefeated seasons.
The merger announcement mentions Middlesex coach Josh Smith will step into the role of Head Coach, while Mystic President Brett Willis will continue as President of the merged organization. The new club will compete in Division 1 as Mystic, while a new Division 3 entrant will be known as the Mystic Barbarians.
It is no secret Middlesex struggled in the most recent season, but to the casual observer the merger is still a bit of a surprise. Middlesex still competed well, despite having to face some of the best teams in the country week after week (e.g. NYAC, Old Blue, Boston), and with a new look Division 1 in the works with the departure of the top four teams to the new Atlantic Rugby Premiership, who knows how Middlesex might have fared in the next season.

Additional challenges for Middlesex have always been the feeling of having to compete for the same pool of players, since geographically the two teams were next door to each other. Perhaps this was enough to warrant the merger on its own? The effectiveness of mergers in the corporate world has long been debated, and we will see what this one brings long term. In the short term, if there are no growing pains, look for the new combined club to be a powerhouse in the new Division 1 this fall.
