Thanks to all the players that made the Master Rugby Classic a resounding success at the Porter Cup Sunday April 3rd. We expect to post some images in the near future at this site.

Our two sides today were composed of masters from all over the state. We divided up into two sides that battled to an exciting draw 15-15. Lots of running,tackling was good but not always present like any good master rugby match should be. The red side seemed to have the upper hand in the first half with interprising speed and ball handling coming from the backline lead by Todd Sowder,Dale,John Lawrence,and George Fiscella. The white side came back with a vengence in the second half. Matt Robinette and Phil Bassette combined for some violent running up the middle that got them back into the match.
