Part of the resurgence of HS all-star and select-side tournaments took place in late June in New York.
Teams from New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, both boys and girls, converged on Glover Field in Pelham, NY for a on-day event.
The idea of the tournament was to give the players a chance to play with players from other teams in their state and play at a high level. This was especially useful for players on teams that don't log a lot of victories but have rugby ability that could shine in this environment.
Sponsors were the NYAC Rugby Foundation, Pelham Recreation, and Fairfield University.
In girls action, New Yrok and New Jersey combined to field a single team while Connecticut and Pennsylvania fielded teams from their states. Connecticut won the girls division, going 2-0. Cara Doherty stood out as a top player. NY/ NJ took second led by Caitlan Moroney.
