GRR: Florida Youth Rugby
The Boca Raton Buccaneers opened their high school club rugby season with a triumph against the Cardinal Gibbons team on a sunny Feb. 3 afternoon at Cardinal Gibbons High School.
In a closely-contested game that saw the Buccaneers ultimately prevail, Boca Raton secured a 22-17 victory over Cardinal Gibbons.
Okapi capped off an excellent season, beating Boca Raton 38-5 to win the Florida U19 league.
"Our defense showed up again to have full control against last year's champion and our attacking system closed the game in the second half with three tries from our backs," said Okapi Head Coach Juan Orfila.
