GRR: Rugby PA
Cumberland Valley and West Shore United renewed their annual neighborhood rivalry Thursday night under the lights at West Shore Stadium, and the game ended in classic fashion, with Cumberland Valley holding off a determined West Shore comeback to prevail 12-10.
Unionville launched themselves into the Goff Rugby Report single-school rankings after defeating two-time defending state champion Cumberland Valley.
Cumberland Valley went up 13-12, scoring a try with about eight minutes left in the match. Unionville answered back with their own try with two minutes left to make it 17-13, and that's how the game ended.
One of the top Rugby Pennsylvania teams will be facing a stent test at one of the top Virginia HS teams as West Shore United travels to West End.
For West Shore it will be an even sterner fast as they won’t have several starters - some of whom are off playing with Atlantis in Las Vegas, and others finishing up winter sports.
The La Salle College High School Explorers won the RugbyPA boys HS 7s State Championship last week at Cumberland Valley HS.
The Explorers bested teams from Doylestown, Coventry, Gregory the Great Academy and Media to go an impressive 5-0 on the day and capture its first state title in the team’s three year history.
Doylestown’s done it again. The reigning girls high school 7s champ has added another title to the record books, going undefeated at last weekend’s state championship and defeating Downingtown 12-5 in the final.
