GRR: Rugby New York
The Catholic High School Athletics Association in New York has approved rugby as an official sport.
Fourteen teams played in the latest weekend of action in Rugby New York's fall HS 7s action.
Seven teams played in the Boys Varsity bracket, while the rest were split between the Boys JV and the Girls brackets.
In the Girls bracket, Play Rugby went undefeated, with Morris 1 taking 2nd, Morris 2 3rd, and Spartan 4th.
The Met NY All-Stars beat the Campion RFC U18 team on tour.
The Friday-night game resulted in a 36-5 win for the New Yorkers.
Flanker Liam Bruckner of Pelham HS was named player of the game.
The MET NY U19 All Stars will face the youth program from Campion RFC Friday evening as the British side is touring the USA.
Assembled fairly quickly to host Campion, the Met NY side will rely on certain players being sufficiently familiar with each other to provide some cohesion.
The Rugby NY Major League Rugby team hosted a Tri-State HS select side tournament over the weekend, and in the boys bracket Connecticut came out on top.
The tournament was held Sunday, June 12 at JFK Stadium in Hoboken, NJ in a semifinal-final format.
