Maryland Exiles Thanksgiving Turkey Trot 7s is held the Saturday after Thanksgiving and normally includes
a Social, Really Social and High School division.  The elite division winners take home the Charlie Nortje Trophy. 

“The Charlie Cup” honors one of Maryland’s greatest flyhalves who suffered a brain aneurysm during a match and died.  Charlie, also known affectionately as 'Chunk', 24, was a standout player with Port Elizabeth, South Africa's famed Grey College.
He had been with the club only a short while but made a lasting impression with Maryland's friends and supporters.

 
"We were blessed to know Charlie for only a few months, but we know he left us playing a sport he loved surrounded by teammates who loved him. A "Chunk" of our heart is gone, but very special memories of a dear friends remain."
- Maryland Exiles Rugby Club, Fall 2001
