Over the March Break your girl’s rugby team travelled to California to play in the Fullerton International Tournament.  While they took some hard hits, they did not give up and fought back to claim 2nd place in their division.  Great defense was shown by Nicolle Boeyenga, Maddy Charles and Nadia Coleman.  The big scorers of the tournament were Myla DeMelo, Alyssa Hewson and Madi Martins.  Rayna Grech scored the winning try in double sudden-death overtime, despite the opposing teams having put a target on her back.  Well done ladies.  Look forward to seeing the girls in action during their regular season.
