Denver Highlanders at #4 HARC Bulls
The Houston Athletic Rugby Club would like to invite you, your team, family, and friends to come watch our playoff run as we hold home field advantage in Round 1 of the USA Rugby Division I Playoffs at the Westland YMCA on May 8th (2PM Kick-off).
Come out to cheer on HARC as they fight for Texas rugby supremacy. Stand on the sidelines and help HARC cut down the Denver Highlanders to help your Houston boys push deeper into the playoffs. This is a playoff rivalry rematch of last year’s first round game and promises to provide massive hits, numerous tries, and big tackles.
Last year HARC battled past the Denver Highlanders to a strong 24-15 victory at home on a beautiful May day full of hard hitting rugby. That win propelled HARC into the Sweet 16 round for a long awaited playoff breakthrough. This match was played in most unfavorable conditions and easily the worst playable surface of the season as HARC was barley edged out by the Las Vegas Blackjacks in a hard fought mud drenched match. Las Vegas Blackjacks ended up facing Aspen in the 2009 Division I National Club Championship but fell 25-10 to the Gentlemen of Aspen.
