rugbynjselects-newyork7s HS Boys Compete at NY 7s with Rugby NJ Boys Selects

On Saturday November 25, 2023, Rugby NJ fielded a select HS Boys side at the annual New York 7s tournament on Randall’s Island. Three Morris Rugby players were selected out of 30 who tried out.

After three solid wins, Rugby NJ made it to the final where they fell short 19-14 to Play Rugby. Overall a great outing for the selects. Congratulations Oliver, Oliver and Sebastian!

The trustees were pleased to provide new custom pop-up tents to our teams this fall. These branded tents raise the profile of Morris Rugby—and of course shelter our players from the elements! Keep an eye out for the new tents on the sidelines this spring.
