It was win day once more for Doylestown as the Pennsylvania-based club won comfortably over Berks to improve to 4-0 in Rugby PA league play.
“We put in a few tries early on and kind of took control from there,” said Doylestown Head Coach Mike McCandless. “We’ve got a bunch of young guys and towards mid-season they’re picking it up and they’re implementing what we’re coaching—we have athletes who are willing to learn and they are getting better every week.”
Center Bailey O’Malley has been a big contributor, and he scored twice vs Berks as he has taking tight hold of the center position. His midfield partner, Louie Cipollo, is starting to exploit gaps. Marco Burns leads the team as captain and hooker, while Jamie Weir runs it all from flyhalf nicely.
“We can play good rugby but we can be better,” said McCandless.
With wins over Gregory the Great, LaSalle College HS, Malvern Prep, and now Berks, Doylestown is now 4-0 with only 46 points scored against.
Chasing Doylestown are all those teams plus St. Joe’s Prep. LaSalle and St. Joseph’s tied 17-17 over the weekend. It was a big performance from St. Joe’s defense, as LaSalle had been averaging over 30 points per game.
