This past weekend, Lake County RFC competed at Harborfest 7s, hosted by the Kenosha Mammoths. In pool play, we defeated the hosting Mammoths and Milwaukee Barbarians B-side, scoring over 70 points total. By topping our pool, we were set for a semifinal match against Wisconsin RFC. Hoping to avenge our defeat against the side in Forest City 7s a week before, Lake County jumped to a 21 point lead at halftime, and never looked back.
In the final, we were pitted against a tough Milwaukee Barbarians A-side. Lake County scored a quick try two minutes in, but the Barbarians fought back to take a 5 point lead into halftime. In the second half, we were unable to stay disciplined on defense, missing key tackles that led to Barbarians tries. In the end, it was a tough loss for us, but a great learning experience. We're hoping to build upon the second place finish in Kenosha, as we head to Milwaukee this weekend to compete at Lakefront 7s. The tournament will take place at Veterans Park.
