Despite the NCRU's best efforts and some incredibly generous work put in by George Daniel, a former Wake rugger, the NCRU was forced to cancel its annual tournament scheduled for Oct. 27-28 due to lack of field availability. Wake Forest, in conjunction with the Charlotte Rugby Club, will now be hosting an unofficial tournament on Oct. 27 with the top 4 men's collegiate finishers from last year's NCRU tournament. The tournament will take place at the Skillbeck Athletic Grounds in Charlotte, NC. The schedule for the day will be as follows:
9am: #1 NCSU A v. #4 WFU A
10:30am: #2 ECU A v. #3 UNC A
12pm: NCSU B v. WFU B
1:30pm: ECU B v. UNC B
3:00pm: Loser Game #1 v. Loser Game #2
4:30pm: Winner Game #1 v. Winner Game #2
While the cancellation of the NCRU tournament is extremely disappointing, this should be a great substitute day of rugby for all involved. Work is already being done to ensure that the NCRU tournament returns next year better than ever.
