What a day for rugby! The GRU's Championship Super Saturday saw some great matches throughout the day, including a couple of women's motley sevens matches. It all concluded with a back and forth bruiser of a championship match with the Savannah Shamrocks Rugby Club coming out on top 30-25 to secure back to back GRU titles. The annual awards were then held at Grizzle Beer, a fantastic new brewery started by a GRU player, and the fun there was capped off by a union-wide, east vs. west boat race.

Savannah now moves on to host the regional Play-in match on 4/11 against the True South Champion, New Orleans.

The GRU sends out a huge thank you to all the member clubs for a great season, and to everyone who helped make Saturday so successful!

The GRU was shocked and saddened to hear the tragic news last week of the passing of Nic Crews from . Nic, a devoted husband and father of two with a third child on the way, tragically lost his life in a shooting at a VA office in Jasper, GA, while selflessly helping others.

Nic was a rugby neighbor of us here at the GRU, which means he was a part of our community and the Georgia rugby family. We are keeping Nic's own family in our thoughts; and we're sharing the opportunity to help support them in this tragic time.
