GRR: Cathedral Catholic
One of the big developments in Southern California's school-team seasons is the easing of the division between the SoCal Youth Rugby teams and the SCIRF teams, and that has led to a big game Tuesday night in the San Diego area.
The Cathedral Catholic Dons and Fallbrook Warriors faced off Friday night for the 5th version of the So Cal Interscholastic Rugby Federation (SCIRF) Championship.
Year Two of the SCIRF Girls 7s, encompassing 10 tournaments and a championship round, is in the books.
The Holy Bowl is an intense rivalry between San Diego high schools Cathedral Catholic and St Augustine; it's been contested in many sports for over 70 years, and in rugby for 14, including Friday night.
Fallbrook and Cathedral Catholic both won in SCIRF action this weekend.
Cathedral moved to 3-0 with a 47-7 victory over La Costa Canyon. Fallbrook rode a solid defensive effort to defeat Mira Costa 24-3.
