Both Orlando Men’s teams took a week off from USA Rugby South pool play to travel to Savannah, GA to play in the St. Patrick’s Day Tournament. The boys had a good Saturday recording two wins first against the Atlanta Renegades and a late afternoon win against the He-man Women Hatters. The two wins on Saturday placed the men in the Social pool final on Sunday at 10a.m. Despite playing a very technically sound game the men were defeated 26-18 by the traveling tournament side Gypsies. The Men’s Division II team will resume pool play Sat. March 22 in Jacksonville to face Jax RFC. Kickoff will be at 2:00.
Orlando Women traveled to Savannah as well. Due to lack of competition and the fact that truthfully no one would play them in a final Orlando women came away with 2 wins on Saturday. They defeated University of North Dakota and University of Michigan by a combined score of 129-0. These two wins combined with two wins against Ft. Lauderdale and Miami a fortnight ago have put them as the South favorites in championship play. Congratulations to them and head coach Raoul Besse.
don’t forget to mention the men played practically drunk!
congrats Raoul and the girls!
