POUGHKEEPSIE, NY -- It is going to be a busy, busy
weekend for the Vassar College Rugby teams as they are hosting the
Tri-State Conference 7s Championships. (Schedules attached).
If you want a day out with plenty of action as 3 fields are in use then the Vassar Farm is the place to be on Saturday and Sunday.
Women
On Saturday the women will take on all comers as 16 teams will compete for the Conference 7s title. Four groups of four teams play round-robin and then the top 2 from each group advance to the quarterfinal stage of the championship. Vassar will be without their prolific try scorer Cierra Thomas as she broke her leg last weekend and is scheduled for surgery next Tuesday. Our best wishes are with her for a speedy recovery. In her absence some newcomers will be asked to fill the void. Rachel Jones and Rachel Elson have plenty of pace and the team will be led by Darienne Jones and Taylor Nunley. It promises to be an exciting Saturday.
Men
The Vassar Men are the defending Tri-State 7s Champions and will no
doubt defend the title to the max. Fifteen teams will be at Vassar on Sunday in three groups of five. There will be action on 3 fields all day long! Vassar's Joe Simon is joined by Seamus Taylor in the backs and both were in the mix last year. A new addition is Gary Garcia
at scrumhalf and this is the game he was born to play. It is a tough
group that the Brewers find themselves in but you have to beat 'em all
to win it, so maybe better early than late!
