GRR: Kenmore
St. Bonaventure University is hosting a high school rugby tournament this coming weekend, the Bonnies HS Boys Challenge.
Participating this weekend are four teams from Western New York: Kenmore, Orchard Park, Canisius, and Fairport.
The teams will play shortened games of 20-minute halves, with rolling subs allowed.
Within days of the snow finally melting from their frozen pitches, the teams in the Western New York (WNY) girls high school division began their competitive seasons. The top two teams from the region will take the 3rd and 4th seeds at the state championship on June 6-7, and City Honors is making an early bid for one of those spots.
Xavier HS of New York City fell behind early but stormed back to defeat Buffalo's Kenmore 25-8 in the sinfal of the Rugby New York state boys HS final.
In the 3rd/4th game, Fordham Prep of NYC and Fairport of Rochester tied 25-25, after overtime didn't settle things. On penalty kicks, Fordham took 3rd.
