Pelham HS defeated Fairfield Rugby Club on Thursday, edging there Connecticut team 22-19.

This was a Spring Break game for both and a good challenge. Fairfield brought a strong defense and while Pelham rested some players, they expected perhaps for their play to produce more tries than it did.

With the Pelham coaching staff shuffling players around to different positions, it was a good challenge all around. While the Pelham set piece was very strong and their phase play consistent, they made poor decisions in passing, with mistakes aided by pressure defense from Fairfield.
