This Saturday, Portland Rugby Club will be hosting the fifth annual Maine Collegiate Rugby Championship at the Cumberland County Fairgrounds. Men's and women's teams from all over Maine will converge on the Fairgrounds to decide the state champions and compete for a spot on the Maine select-side that will compete in the upcoming New England Championship. Things kick-off at 8 a.m. (ouch! We all know how those students hate to get up in the morning), and will continue through to the awards ceremony at 4 p.m.
As if that wasn't enough excitement, the Portland men's club will be hosting the Met New York D3 Runners Up, Hudson Valley in a regional play-off game. Both teams will be competing for a berth in the Northeast Final 4, which is to be held the following week in Syracuse. Kick-off for that game is 12:25 p.m.
Add to that a B game against Bull Moose from Mount Washington Valley, Portland Women against Hudson Valley Women, as well as High School action and PRFC hosted mini-clinics, and you're sure to get your fill of rugby for the day.
Entry is free to all spectators and refreshments will be available on site.
