Jacksonville to Host Rugby Showcase
Jacksonville to Host Rugby Showcase
Teams from all over the Southeast will travel to Jacksonville, Fla. May 22-23 for a series of cross-border games.
The Florida Invitational Rugby Showcase will feature 15s games all weekend. The Charlotte Tigers, Raleigh Redhawks, Florida Jaguars, Wellington Wizards, and Jacksonville Wolverines will be there, with some of those clubs fielding younger-level teams as well.
The Charlotte Tigress, Redhawks, Aspetuck, and a Wellington Combined team will play in the girls competition, while there will also be a middle school series of games with Charlotte, Raleigh, Wellington, and the Jaguars.
The event will be held at the Davis Park Complex in Jacksonville. The Boys HS competition will be a round robin series of games, and the presence of the Jaguars shows the level of play expected—the Jaguars is a select side of players from all over Florida.
This promises to be some high-level competition, and it will also be a chance for players to showcase their talents in front of college rugby coaches and recruiters.
