GRR: North Carolina
At last count 63 teams from 12 states representing nearly 40 clubs and schools will be playing a total of 104 matches this weekend at the 14th annual Carolina Ruggerfest held near Charlotte, NC.
Tournament Commissioner Erik Saxon said just about every level of youth rugby will be represented there.
On a crisp Friday evening the North Raleigh Red Hawks set off to play the Clayton Copperheads in a North Carolina varsity matchup battle that has been going on ever since these two clubs first came up. Some would call it a rivalry.
The Charlotte Tigers was already 3-0 before the team hosted their first home game.
The Tigers won three Mid-South Independent Rugby League (MSIRL) games on the road, and so there was some buzz as the team hosted the North Meck Vikings Saturday night in the North Carolina league opener.
The Chapel Hill Highlanders thumped North Raleigh 53-12 in North Carolina league action Friday night.
Well over 70 boys HS rugby games are on tap for this weekend - check back for scores as we update.
