Opening Weekend

Last weekend was the season opener for Wisconsin Girls Rugby in the first season of having 2 pools. Pool A consists of DSHA-A side; North Shore; Kettle Moraine; Muskego and Catholic Memorial. Pool B consists of Vernon; Brookfield; Oak Creek; Fond du Lac and DSHA-B. Teams are seated in the pools based on standings from last Fall. The season consists of a 5 week regular season where teams play each team within thier pool and one cross-conference match. Only matches against pool opponents count toward pool rankings. Teams earn 4 points for a win; 2 points for a tie; 1 bonus point for scoring 4 or more tries; and 1 bonus point for losing by less than 7 points. Following the 5 week pool play, teams are slotted into brackets for a 3 week play off, culminating in the state finals on Oct. 28 at Nagawaukee Park in Delafield where all teams will compete for the final state rankings.

So, after week one of pool play the results are as follows:

Pool A:
DSHA-A (1-0) vs. Muskego 59-0 (0-1) (5pts for pool standings)
KM (0-1) v. Northshore (1-0) 14-32 (5pts for pool standings)

Pool B:

DS-B (0-1) v. Vernon 5-25 (1-0) (0 pts. for conference standings--per the rules)
FDL (0-1) v. Brookfield 10-53 (1-0) (5pts. for conference standings for technical forfeit)


Non-Conference Matches:

CMH (1-0) v. Oak Creek 33-0 (0-1) (0 pts for conference standings)
