GRR: SCIRF
In a much-anticipated opening weekend for the Southern California Interscholastic Rugby Federation 2021 season, the Cathedral Catholic Dons posted a hard-earned 52-0 victory over a tenacious Steele Canyon Cougars.
Along with Rugby NY, several other high school rugby competitions are gearing up this weekend.
After a bit of a soft launch, Minnesota sees four games scheduled for Friday (although one game appears to be a forfeit). Albert Lea, Becker, and Eagan have all started well in an eight-team league, although Southside is probably going to struggle to field a full side.
The Southern California Interscholastic Rugby Federation will be kicking off league play on May 1.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has caused new and innovative ways to keep the rugby flame burning.
All the talk about what the future of Youth and High School rugby will look like, one glimpse at the future might be had in Southern California.
The Southern California Interscholastic Rugby Federation (SCIRF) will return this school year, albeit a bit later than usual, and will do so with growth on its mind.
