RugbyNY HS Boys Season Begins
Rugby New York's Boys High School season starts this coming weekend.
Met NY will see all teams play in the same division, with seven teams in action:
Fordham Prep
New Rochelle HS
Pelham HS
Playrugby ACADEMY
Rockaway Club
St Anthony's HS
Rye HS
(Xavier HS is playing an independent schedule)
Four teams will play in the JV league, with the Westchester Barbarians and the Albany Area Rugby Club combining to play the Fordham Prep and Pelham JV teams. Albany isn't MetNY but with the number of teams down in the area they have committed to traveling south to play.
Western New York is expected to kick off a little later and will play in two small pools based on geography. The Middle WNY group will including Corning, Syracuse, and Fairport; the West WNY group will include Grand Island, Kenmore, and Canisius.
Here is the MetNY schedule. It's a varied one given that New Rochelle and PlayRugby are limited to playing 10-a-side due to numbers, Rockaway has to finish its season by May 23, St Anthony's can't start its season until May 16, and Rye is not allowed to play any club sides.
