Saturday's Rugby Tournament has been canceled

Due to the weather forecast for tomorrow, March 13th, 2010, the CHAMPS Rugby event has been canceled and will not be rescheduled. The upside to this is that the CHAMPS spring season will be starting soon and we will be part of that season's first ever competitive Rugby league/season. This spring season will lead us right up to Play Rugby USA's annual tournament, the Mayor's Cup.

Holliswood Rugby Team Plate Champions

After three years of hard work, the Holliswood middle school Rugby team finally brings home some hardware! Competing in two tournaments this weekend, March 7th, the team was victorious at last. In past tournaments, they had finished high in playoff brackets, but were not able to get past some tough competition. That trend ended Sunday. The team was able to get past a rocky first match to persevere and win their playoff bracket in not just one, but two tournaments! Congratulations to our ruggers, and much more success in the future. Post a comment to show your support.
