Houston 7's Tourney
The weather was a little on the cold and rainy side but the H.A.R.C. U-19 side came to play. The Tournament was set up in pool play with 3 pools and the top 2 teams from each pool advancing into semi finals bracket. In Pool A was H.A.R.C. , Westside, St Thomas B and Mt. Carmel. The Pool A compitition got off to a great start with a very entertaining game with what proved to be the top two teams in the pool. H.A.R.C came out on top by 5 points with trys by Franco (captain) John and Thomas leading the way to victory.
Next up was St. Thomas B. The team really came together with a solid performance and a 41-0 win. H.A.R.C. controlled all facets of this game. Good rucking, ball control, nice passing and solid defense led the way in this match.
In the 3rd game of the H.A.R.C took on a newly devolped side in Mt. Carmel. Mt. Carmel put a a good fight using there size and speed but in the end it was not enough to beat a H.A.R.C. side that was led to victory by the young players of Royden (skillet), Kirk, and Cameron (Spicoli). H.A.R.C. came out on top 5-0 and controlled the ball and there third straight game of the day.
With 3 victories under their belt for the day the undefeated H.A.R.C. side played what turned out to be a very strong competitor in the Dallas Colts in the semi-final game. Looking for their second straight tournament win and putting their undefeated record on the line the H.A.R.C. side was focused and ready to go. This game turned out to be what every one expected Solid rugby puntuated by clean play and hard hitting. H.A.R.C. struck first with a 30 meter try score by R.J.. This led to a 5 meter stand by H.A.R.C. side that ended the half. With 4 minutes remaining in the second half the Dallas Colts scored on kick and chase. They tacked on the conversion in what proved to be the difference in the game and a 7-5 loss for H.A.R.C.
Katy went on to defeat St. Thomas in the semi final and then the Dallas Colts in the final taking the tournament hardware home. We at H.A.R.C. would like to extend our thanks and appreciation to all of the parents especially Rachel for helping the tourny run smoothly. We would also like to thank the Colts for making the drive down and all the teams who participated and helped make it an oustanding day of rugby. And last but certainly not least to all of the Referees who voluteered their time and patients for the day.
