The Richmond Strikers defeated Vienna 33-17 over the weekend, making for a very close league in Rugby Virginia.

Rugby Virginia U18 League Results and Standings:
We crowned a few state champions over the weekend and learned who will be battling for a couple more.
In addition, we had a couple of key games that likely have an effect on HS National Championship seedings. Here's a look.
In a clash of the two strongest HS club teams in Virginia, Vienna held off Fort Hunt 19-10.
"It was a super-physical game," said Fort Hunt Head Coach Dale Roach. "Strong defense from both teams and hard running. We look forward to seeing them again in the playoffs."
Rugby Virginia will hold its playoffs this coming weekend at Culpeper Sports Complex in Culpeper, Va., with at least 25 teams in action throughout the day.
Vienna looked impressive with a 36-3 defeat of West End Saturday in Rugby Virginia action.
The two teams have a good rivalry going. Both have built their programs starting with youth. And last year the two teams met in the Rugby Virginia semifinals, with Vienna winning 5-0.
