GRR: Utah Youth Rugby
After a two-year hiatus from national and international competition, the Utah Youth Rugby official select side, the Utah Cannibals have been back in competition this summer, and it's been a good summer.
It was a decent 1st day of competition for the Utah teams in the Boys Open bracket of the Victoria International 7s Friday in Victoria, BC, Canada.
The Utah Lions program is aking two boys U19 teams to the Victoria International Sevens in British Columbia.
The White team will play in the Boys Elite brace with three teams from the BC Elite 7s program, Eagle Impact Rugby Academy, EIRA Washington, Upright Rugby out of Ontario, and the Utah Cannibals.
In a close, tense encounter United Rugby Club defeated the Orem Stallions 18-10 to take the Utah Youth Rugby HS club title Saturday.
Snow Canyon won the Utah Boys single-school championship, defeating Herriman 16-15 on a rainy Saturday at the University of Utah on the final play of the game.
The two tams went back and forth in a tight contest, and while Snow Canyon played well in the early going, could only produce two penalty goals from Sam Slivers. Meanwhile, Herriman scored twice to lead 10-6.
