GRR: Rugby Virginia
In a clash of the two strongest HS club teams in Virginia, Vienna held off Fort Hunt 19-10.
"It was a super-physical game," said Fort Hunt Head Coach Dale Roach. "Strong defense from both teams and hard running. We look forward to seeing them again in the playoffs."
Rugby Virginia will hold its playoffs this coming weekend at Culpeper Sports Complex in Culpeper, Va., with at least 25 teams in action throughout the day.
Vienna looked impressive with a 36-3 defeat of West End Saturday in Rugby Virginia action.
The two teams have a good rivalry going. Both have built their programs starting with youth. And last year the two teams met in the Rugby Virginia semifinals, with Vienna winning 5-0.
Vienna continued to build on their "Get 1% Rugby Better Every Single Day" with a big 59-10 win over Loudoun/Western Loudoun in a shortened 60-minute game Saturday.
Vienna HS defeated the Bethesda Roosters Saturday in a cross-border warmup for both teams.
