Lake County RFC competed at Forest City Sevens, hosted by Rockford Ravens Rugby. The pool consisted of Wisconsin Rugby Club and the Chicago Blaze. After a tough 14-15 loss in the first game against Wisconsin, we bounced back against the Blaze with a 26-17 win. Based on seeding, LC took the fourth semifinal spot, and faced the top-ranked Fox Valley Maori.
In the semifinal, LC led by a single try at halftime. However, an early yellow card in the second half proved to be too much, as Fox Valley scores three quick tries and never looked back. The final match of the day pitted us against the Chicago Rugby Club for 3rd place. Lake County jumped out to a quick lead early on, but CRC pushed back and competed until the end. The defense tightened up and we held for a 3rd place win!
We have another week of practice to tune up for our next tournament, Harborfest 7s in Kenosha. Practice will be held Tuesday the 18th and Thursday the 20th from 7-8:30 PM. Our practice location is
Hutchins Athletic Field in Gurnee. If you have any questions, please email us at LakeCountyRFC@gmail.com.
