GRR: Rugby New York
Saratoga Springs, NY (Release by Saratoga Rugby Club) – The Saratoga Rugby Club has announced the introduction of two new High School Rugby teams.
The Winged Foot City Athlete 7s team won the Empire Gu 7s title in the High School boys bracket in their first year as a club.
The girls Northeast Regional Cup Tournament was a modest affair with only three teams in attendance, but all of the games between Vermont/Capital District, Massachusetts, and Connecticut were tough, hotly contested matches. And some up-and-coming talent didn’t go unnoticed.
In its first trip to the New York state championship, Orchard Park finished the final four weekend 2-0, ending with a 33-29 win over reigning girls high school champ Play Rugby Academy for the title.
Rugby New York is hosting its girls high school state championship this weekend, and three Buffalo-area teams will look to unseat current titleholder Play Rugby Academy over two days in Utica.
