Phoenix Rugby wrapped up a successful weekend with a league win over Titans United and then a victory over visiting South Doyle, the defending Tennessee state champion.
The Phoenix Rugby varsity squad defeated the Charlotte Tigers 14-7 and North Mecklenburg 55-0 in a warmup weekend of games in Charlotte, NC.
The Georgia-based team, which merged with rivals Roswell during the off-season, has already defeated Charlotte Catholic and Chapin in the preseason.
The Phoenix JVs beat North Meck but lost to Charlotte.
The Georgia HS Rugby Association has come out in opposition of the proposed merger between the Phoenix Alpharetta and Roswell HS programs.
Alpharetta Phoenix Rugby Club and Roswell Rugby Club are pleased to jointly announce today that they will merge for the 2015/2016 rugby season and following seasons with immediate effect.
Alpharetta Phoenix settled who are the best team in Georgia by beating previously unbeaten Lassiter Trojans 27-19 in the Georgia State Championship Final on Friday night.
