GRR: Hempfield Knightmares
Knightmare Boys Rugby improved to 8-1 in Rugby Pennsvylania HS 7s action after running the table over the weekend.
Going into the Rugby PA championship weekend the Hempfield Knightmares had every reason to wear the favorites’ mantel.
The Knightmares had, after all, won 13 games and lost just the one before Fall Fest in Malvern, Pa. Their closest rivals were likely Doylestown, but a Dowlstown team that had graduated some very talented players and were 9-5 on the season.
Coming out of the Fall Fest HS 7s tournament in Pennsylvania observers had to be happy to see some rugby, to see some young student-athletes playing again, and see some good rugby skills, but what they didn't see a lot of was consistently good kicking ... except in one or two rare cases.
