GRR: Rugby Oregon
Rugby Oregon’s boys club league is heating up as Linn-Benton survived a stern test and two other teams remain undefeated.
Linn-Benton entered the weekend 2-0 and set to face a big, hard-hitting Bend team. If Linn-Benton were to be taken seriously as a contender, surely they had to beat Bend, and they did, 19-5.
The Union Titans of Oregon began their season with a convincing 56-7 victory over a good Portland Pumas team on Saturday.
During the Girls bracket of the Serevi Cup HS 7s tournament earlier this month, you couldn’t help but notice the speed and skill of the Rugby Oregon team - their teamwork and athleticism got them to the final, where they fell 5-0 to Apex.
The Rugby Oregon select side program will enter two boys teams in the Serevi Cup this weekend in conjunction with the USA Rugby National Club 7s at the Starfire Sports Complex in Tukwila, Wash.
The Rugby Oregon Boys 7s Series concluded last weekend with North Clackamas edging Union 19-12 in the Cup Final.
This was something of an upset as Union had dominated through much of the sumer.
