GRR: Royal Irish
St. Edward won two Midwest Boys HS championships Sunday, and Royal Irish did what was expected in the Midwest championship tournament in Elkart, Ind. Sunday.
Royal Irish won the multi-school club bracket with a 62-17 defeat of Fishers Sunday. The Indianapolis team finished the two-day, three-game tournament with 138 points for and 22 against.
The early-season meeting of the two defending NIT champions lived up to expectations as 2014 single-school champs Gonzaga edged 2014 multi-school club champs Royal Irish 27-25 on the final play of the game.
It’s not often you get two major champions playing each other in a weekend. This weekend, we actually have that happening twice, as the men’s DIA and Varsity Cup defending champs are playing each other, and in Boys HS rugby, the HS Club and Single-School NIT winners face off.
