The Raptor Rugby Program in Middle Tennessee took all of the honors at the Tennessee State Fall 7s Championships this past Saturday.
Pelham HS won the Rugby NY Varsity 7s championship this past weekend, going undefeated in the championship event.
The Pelham team beat Staples HS, Play Rugby, Fresh Meadows, and Brooklyn Tech.
For several years the North Carolina Youth Rugby Union has put on a Fall 7s Series – with many players doing both football and rugby.
St. Edward beat St. Ignatius on the final play of the game to take the Rugby Ohio Boys Fall 7s, and St. Ed's made it a double, winning the Shield competition, as well.
Rugby Ohio used the regular season to stratify the competitions, with one set of teams playing for the Cup, and a second tier playing for the Shield in the final tournament.
The Rugby New York 7s continues with the addition of a few teams from outside the state.
In the Girls Bracket, the NY All Stars (a group of girls made up of Aspetuck, Queens, Albany, and Pelham players) played Play Rugby in two games, winning both. While this seems like not much, it's something with many girls teams still trying to build back.
