Sorry for the late posting of this.
As you may know, we are in Ireland seeing first-hand how Irish Rugby Tours sets up tours for teams across America. We saw St. Thomas Aquinas play Ennis Rugby Club on the West Coast of Ireland to a tie.
In a game that was postponed to Monday due to weather, #2 school team Gonzaga defeated #5 HS club team Fort Hunt 48-7.
Fort Hunt Head Coach Dale Roach was pretty clear on how that game went. “They were very good in every phase of the game,” said Roach. “When we made mistakes they made us pay.”
It was early days still for both teams but Gonzaga has a lot of the pieces.
Vienna took on both the Clayton Rugby Club and Raleigh Redhawks over the weekend, although it all didn't quite go as expected.
Vienna did well, and beat both teams, but because of heavy winter weather in North Carolina early in the weekend, Raleigh's home pitch was closed, forcing a change in that game from Saturday to Sunday.
St. Augustine and Cathedral Catholic in Southern California held the inaugural SD Invitational, hosting St. Joseph's Prep from Philadelphia and Regis Jesuit from Denver.
