GRR: Vienna
Gonzaga defeated Vienna this weekend in a clash of the #5 school team and the #29 HS club.
The game itself was rough on Vienna as a red card and general indiscipline undercut their performance. Too many errors also didn't help as Gonzaga was more cohesive and put together and eventually won out 35-15.
Fort Hunt held off Vienna 33-26 in a somewhat surprisingly close game in Rugby Virginia.
Fort Hunt ran out to a 21-0 lead before Vienna finally scored. Even then Fort Hunt replied and led 28-5 at halftime.
But Vienna made a few adjustments, and Fort Hunt suddenly were under pressure.
Virginia rugby is getting going and we're already seeing a few teams come to the fore.
While it's no surprise that Fort Hunt has started strong, it is interesting to see Vienna start to emerge as one of the stronger programs in the area.
High School boys teams in Virginia got rugby started this weekend and one team got a bit of a rough reawakening.
