GRR: Rugby Ohio
St. Edward defeated Archbishop Moeller 29-8 on a cold Saturday in Cleveland, Ohio to secure a play-in for the Boys HS Rugby National Championships.
Ed's defended well in a fixture that is always intense and carries plenty of physicality. But with scrumhalf Owen Ahern and flyhalf Tommy Graham working well together they were able to run in five tries.
St. Ignatius defeated St. Edward and the wind Saturday to take the first leg of the Cavoli Cup.
The Cavoli Cup is the new challenge trophy between the two Cleveland rivals, with games from Freshmen to Varsity all counting towards the trophy.
Just about a week after GRR published an interview with Rugby Ohio Board President Chris Northup, the organization has a new president.
The journey through Rugby Ohio’s governance change took another, albeit belated, step forward this week.
Monday night was the first phone meeting of the newly-elected Board of Directors.
This meeting was a held 11 days after the elections, which seems to be a little slow considering the speed with which both incumbents and change-advocates wanted to move.
Rigby Ohio's new elections are completed and the results aren't decisive one way or the other.
For the agents of change who wanted to see a new Board, the election did not deliver a landslide.
For the incumbent group of Boardmembers, the election did not deliver a vote of confident.
