3. Our girl’s rugby team play an excellent first game against St. Pat’s yesterday! While we didn’t walk away with the win, our girls displayed relentless hustle and fight from start to finish. Addison S secured our first try with a powerhouse drive, showing incredible strength to push through the defensive line. Alexia C scored our second try with a spectacular half-field run, evading tackles with speed and agility. The highlight of the day was the incredible sportsmanship. A huge shout-out to the players from St. Pat’s who stepped up to join our side, ensuring we had a full squad and could keep the game going. That is what the spirit of rugby is about! Congratulations to the whole team for a hard-fought fight. You made us proud! There will be NO PRACTICE TODAY.
