GRR: Cathedral Catholic
The big game in Southern California saw the top SoCal Youth Rugby single school team against the leading SCIRF team in Cathedral Catholic.
These teams are both feeders for the San Diego Mustangs club, so it was a bit of a Mustangs cup. And in a very, very well-played game played in front of a robust and loud crowd, the teams played to a 28-28 tie.
Cathedral Catholic put down another marker in the SCIRF with an impressive 52-12 win over a very good La Costa Canyon side.
LCC came into the game 3-0 in the SCIRF, having beaten Patrick Henry, Saints, and Los Alamitos. Head Coach Michael Mukuru said that while the Dragons had started well, they knew Cathedral would be a challenge.
Jesuit of Sacramento wrapped up its preseason trip to Southern California with one win and one loss.
On Friday Mira Costa ran out to a 15-10 lead over Jesuit only for the Marauders to score twice to come back and win 25-15.
Jesuit Head Coach Andrew Acosta said his team made some typical first-game mistakes but pulled it together.
