GRR: Georgia Youth Rugby
Coming off of a victory against the 1st place Phoenix, the Trojans were eager to avenge an early season loss to the Titans in Rugby Georgia Boys HS league play.
The winner of this match would all but secure 2nd place in the regular season standings with a slim chance to catch the Phoenix for the regular season crown.
Rugby Georgia started its 2nd half of the spring 15s season after The Phoenix and Barbarians returned from the Carolina Ruggerfest and others returned from a weekend in Vegas as members of the USA South Panther’s 7s squads.
Going into the weekend the Phoenix were undefeated and in first place, followed by the Titans, Trojans and Barbarians.
Phoenix/Trojans
On Saturday, Phoenix Alpharetta played South Greenville in an eagerly anticipated meeting of ranked high school clubs.
Atlanta Youth Rugby (AYR) recently held its inaugural banquet in the Piedmont Room at the Park Tavern. Among the 160+ attendees were more than 90 youth players in uniform, from AYR as well as from neighboring clubs from Roswell, Newtown, and Alpharetta.
The much anticipated league matchup of Phoenix and Trojans took place at a dry but cold North Park on Friday evening. This was a re-match of the 2015 state championship game won narrowly by Phoenix in a thriller.
