Mike Keeling formed the original Rugga Buggas Rugby Team in 1994 when he was bored!. At that time it was principally made up of ex playing colleagues of Mike's from Macclesfiled RUFC who all got together to form a bit of a fun side but as they were all playing for different clubs around the country, Mike came up with a new identity - The Rugga Buggas. After a few years many of the original players drifted off and so started the idea of drafting in players from all over the country and abroad. There are still 4 original 'Buggas' who have been playing consistently since the original trip in 1994.
