ACTON, MA – For the second year in a row, Mystic River Rugby Club are NE 10s Champions. The Mystics again dominated the competition, letting up only two tries scored against them on the day. In the final, the Mystics defeated the Boston Irish Wolf-hounds 14-7 to defend their championship.
SPRINGFIELD, MA – Mystic River took it up a notch from last year and entered the Qualifier bracket at this year’s Springfield 7s Tourney. Falling to Boston in the first match 12-7, the Mystics were able to bounce back to deafeat NYAC 26-14 and move on to face Long Island in the Semi Final round, with the New York club edging past the Mystics 17-10 to move on to the final. Mystic River placed 4th.
In the Open Division, the self proclaimed “Mystic Exiles” showed a vast improvement from the week prior, going 2-2 on the day. With 20+ years of age between the youngest rookie and the oldest grizzled veteran, the Mystics finished the day strong with a 29-0 “pay back” win over Worcester for 5th place.
