GRR: Rugby Maryland
Tension and humidity filled the air at Mount St. Mary’s University, as the Bethesda Roosters defended their U19 Rugby Maryland Championship Title
and added a record to their storied rivalry with the Maryland Exiles.
Baltimore Poly defeated the Maryland Exiles 26-17 this past weekend, setting themselves up for a run at the playoffs.
The Exiles went into the game unbeaten, so to take this result was a big deal for Baltimore Poly.
The Maryland Exiles Rugby Festival got back on track this month and like a lot of tournaments is looking to rebuild after some COVID speedbumps.
This year saw North Bay, Loudoun County, Mount St. Joseph's, Frederick, and, of course, the hosts MDX take each other on.
Vienna HS defeated the Bethesda Roosters Saturday in a cross-border warmup for both teams.
Games in Rugby Maryland and Rugby Virginia are on the schedule, finally.
After a couple of weeks of preseason games (Rugby Maryland Comes Back), Maryland's league season begins this Saturday.
