A hugely successful weekend for RugbyPA's All State squads as they swept the USA Rugby North East Regional Cup Tournament in Albany, NY. More than 110 players represented RugbyPA over the entire weekend including Varsity Boys and Girls, Junior Varsity Boys and for the first time ever Junior Varsity Girls and Middle School Boys. The weekend saw success for RugbyPA as they left with Championship wins at Varsity Boys, Junior Varsity Boys and JV Girls, 2nd place for Middle School Boys and 3rd place for Varsity Girls.

RugbyPA All State Varsity Boys squad built on the structure of RugbyPA's new Canterbury Academies throughout the Spring, went from strength to strength throughout the weekend. Captained by tournament MVP Jayden Demmy, the Varsity Squad started Saturday with a 26-10 win over Greenwich, followed by a 36-10 win over MYRO.  Sunday morning continued in a similar fashion with a confident 53 -0 win over NY West. The final game also went the way of RugbyPA's strong Varsity squad as they defeated a solid New York Met side 55-19 to take the Championship title. Thanks to coaches Jack Foley (Villanova/Atlantis) and Sean Robinson (West Shore United).
