GRR: Cape Pirates
It remains a question as to who will finish the season on top in Florida, but we're starting to get an idea.
OkapiWins over Key Biscayne, Naples, and, this past weekend, Cardinal Gibbons, Okapi is now 3-0. It was a tight one against Cardinal Gibbons (see more about that below.)
Okapi faces a stern test against a pretty useful Boynton Beach side in two weeks.
The Florida Youth Rugby Boys DI league is off and running this weekend, with nine games on the docket.
Orlando is the defending state champs and the Griffins start at the Westside Wolverines. Riviera Beach Maritime Academy logged the best record in the regular season, and will visit Jupiter, which was 2nd in the league last year. That's a high-profile early clash.
The Florida Youth Rugby season gets a soft start with the extensive Florida Winter Festival this coming weekend in Orlando.
The Festival itself will feature teams in seven brackets from Men’s and Women’s adult teams to Under 10s.
Pelham HS out of New York finished up their trip to Florida with a 38-10 defeat of the Cape Pirates.
Pelham, having already put RBMA to the sword, mixed up the team's lineup somewhat, and ran out to a 33-3 halftime lead, before the subs were run on.
