DRENCHED.

A muddy Sunday in Doylestown for our HS Girls team. Both sides went 4-2 on a rain-shortened day of sevens rugby. Thank you to Girls High School Rugby, Doylestown Rugby Club for hosting. Next week we head to Cumberland Valley for Round 4.

RAIN RUGBY!

Our Youth Program continues to grow in leaps and bounds. Downingtown was host for the first youth 7’s tournament of the season and despite the deluge, a great day of rugby. U14 went 3-0, U12 with a bright future AND an all girls scrimmage too!

Great job everyone!



Thanks to Jennifer Rose for the great shots!

CHAPTER 2

Our HS Girls team escaped the nor’easter on Sunday and played round 2 of the Rugby Pennsylvania fall 7 season in Hollidaysburg. Our A and B side combined for a 3-5 record on the day, with tons of positives to build on. Thank you to Blair United Girls Rugby for hosting.

Thanks to Todd Schively for the excellent shots.
