Cathedral Catholic Takes SCIRF Title Over LCC
Cathedral Catholic has won the SCIRF league, defeating La Costa Canyon in Friday night's final in San Diego.
The Dons took the game 28-17—LCC competed well and made Cathedral work for it.
It was Senior Night for Cathedral which provided a little extra emotion.
Wild Finish for Cathedral-vs-Torrey Pines Game
The big game in Southern California saw the top SoCal Youth Rugby single school team against the leading SCIRF team in Cathedral Catholic.
These teams are both feeders for the San Diego Mustangs club, so it was a bit of a Mustangs cup. And in a very, very well-played game played in front of a robust and loud crowd, the teams played to a 28-28 tie.
