GRR: Florida Youth Rugby
The Cape Pirates keep making it interesting, but they also keep winning.
The Cocoa Beach-area team defeated a tough Weston HS squad 15-14 this weekend to move to 3-0. All three victories have been close.
Head Coach Steve Roper said the team has shown great discipline in hanging on in the close games.
The Daytona HS rugby team made a huge statement this weekend with a 48-10 defeat of a highly-regarded Orlando squad to move to 2-0 in the Florida Boys HS Northern Pool.
Week 3 of the Florida Boys HS league brings the Naples Bears into the fray.
Naples is certainly one of the teams expected to compete and they face Boca Raton after thumping the Mavericks 48-0 in their opener. Orlando, winners last week, face Daytona, also winners last week.
The first full weekend of Florida Boys HS rugby is in the books with the Cape Pirates winning another close game to be the only team to go 2-0.
The Pirates played an early game against the Tampa Krewe last week. They won that one 15-0 and then won this week 10-7 over Jupiter.
A week after the Cape Pirates opened the Florida Boys HS season with a 15-0 victory over the Tampa Krewe, a full slate of games is set for this weekend.
