High School Boys
Pelham HS defeated Fairfield Rugby Club on Thursday, edging there Connecticut team 22-19.
This was a Spring Break game for both and a good challenge. Fairfield brought a strong defense and while Pelham rested some players, they expected perhaps for their play to produce more tries than it did.
