Village Lions 2010 Northeast Rugby Union DII Champions!

After avenging the only loss on the season by lashing CT Yankees RFC 61 -26 on Saturday November 20th,  2010 in the Northeast Rugby Union semi-final, the Lions bested Middlesex RFC with a strong 39 – 13 victory  in the Regional Final on Sunday November 21st, 2010 to take the trophy as the best team in the Northeast United States.

Lions are now the top seed from this region in the DII Nationals in May 2011.

Before a crowd of a few hundred spectators the Village Lions’ Men side took on a very determined Middlesex RFC side for the Northeast Rugby Union Championship DII title.  It was a well contested battle, but the Lions structure and execution with ball in hand won out on the afternoon at Randall’s Island field 74 where they led the whole game. Both teams move on to the National Tournament round of 16 in the spring with the Lions being the first seed and Middlesex being the second seed.
