GRR: Bishop Dwenger
Rugby teams in Indiana are finally getting some serious game time, and now that the games are happening, there is a lot to see.
Bishop Dwenger met up with Detroit Central Catholic Saturday at Adrian College and came away ith a well-taken 38-12 win.
St. Ignatius put Bishop Dwenger to the sword in a non-conference cross-border match Sunday, winning 53-7 on a very windy day in Indiana.
The Cleveland-area SIHS team defended well and controlled field position in excellent fashion in a game where lineouts and kicking for goal were not a good idea given the breeze.
Royal Irish took the Rugby Indiana Super League title Monday, beating a tenacious Bishop Dwenger 32-21.
Led by a playoff MVP performance by flyhalf Tommy Hannon, and with prop Andy Guhl leading the way up front, Royal Irish put in a very strong defensive performance. However, when they made errors, Dwenger was only too happy to capitalize.
Royal Irish and Bishop Dwenger will face off Monday for the Rugby Indiana Super League title after both teams won semifinals on Saturday.
For Dwenger, this continues to be their best season in some time and it’s a case of a group of players that has bought in to the approach and are playing together.
