DC-Area Teams Dominate Showcase

Both Gonzaga and Hyde won both of their matches this weekend at the 3rd Annual Wake Forest High School Rugby Showcase. Gonzaga defeated East Chapel Hill on Saturday and West Shore United on Sunday, with Hyde doing the same in the reverse order - beating West Shore United on Saturday and East Chapel Hill on Sunday. The level of rugby exhibited by the teams attending this year's was exceptional, with the highlight of the weekend being the early Sunday morning game between Hyde and East Chapel Hill. The game was an exciting back and forth affair, with Hyde's dynamic backline ultimately leading its team to a 36-29 victory over a talented and well-organized Highlanders squad. Wake Forest rugby looks forward to hopefully having all four teams return for next year's event.
