GRR: Rugby New Jersey
It was tough for the Morris U18 girls team to properly celebrate its New Jersey State Championship, as its competition didn’t enter the final at full strength. In fact, Morris was supposed to play South Jersey in Sunday’s final, but the standings runner-up had whittled down to four healthy CIPPed players, and third-place Union competed in its place.
Delbarton School defeated St. Augustine 33-21 Sunday to win the Rugby New Jersey single-school Boys HS championship.
It wasn’t an easy game, and likely the toughest game of the season for a Delbarton team that hadn’t run into too much trouble in league play this season.
The Union County Mudturtles followed up their National Tier II tournament championship of a few weeks ago by winning the New Jersey State championship this past Sunday.
New Jersey crowns two champions this weekend with Union County taking on Morris, and Delbarton facing St. Augustine.
Delbarton is in to the New Jersey state final after hammering St. Peter’s 71-5 in the state single-school semifinal.
