GRR: Florida Youth Rugby
Weston Rugby defeated Cardinal Gibbons 28-5 under the lights Thursday night in the only Florida Youth Rugby game of the weekend.
Two games in Florida’s Boys HS league were between undefeated teams, two being teams that have a long history of doing well in the state, and two that are little (or a lot) new to that level.
In both games, the more established team won.
With their defeat of St. Thomas Aquinas, the Key Biscayne Rats, new to HS rugby in Florida, are now 3-0.
The Cape Pirates keep making it interesting, but they also keep winning.
The Cocoa Beach-area team defeated a tough Weston HS squad 15-14 this weekend to move to 3-0. All three victories have been close.
Head Coach Steve Roper said the team has shown great discipline in hanging on in the close games.
The Daytona HS rugby team made a huge statement this weekend with a 48-10 defeat of a highly-regarded Orlando squad to move to 2-0 in the Florida Boys HS Northern Pool.
