GRR: Rugby PA
Moon Area will play Doylestown in the final of Rugby Pennsylvania’s Girls HS division after seeing off a tenacious Downingtown Saturday in the semis.
It was a game of varied profiles, with the opening minutes seeming to promise an all-forward slog, and then the game changing dramatically in style and momentum.
Rugby Pennsylvania’s playoffs begin and end this weekend with two intense days of competition.
The day starts with Youth semifinals and Junior semifinals.
The boys D2 then comes in with Media vs Berks/West Chester and Indiana vs Blackthorn
At 4-1 Media is the #1 seed.
The Berks Athletic Club won the Berks Rugby intra-squad 7s series Sunday, taking the final game 29-19 to win the deciding tournament.
Rugby Pennsylvania will host a championship high school 7s tournament at the end of October.
Stopping short of calling it state championship, Rugby PA is instead calling the event FallFest and encouraging all teams to participate.
The Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association has announced that fall HS sports will go on as normal.
Sports and schools have been waiting for a long time for some specific guidelines and the lack of information has trickled into rugby and other sports. Wrestling and lacrosse events were held this summer, while an attempt at a rugby tournament was halted by Rugby PA.
