From the words of John "Doc" Tinsley:The St Patty's Tournament was held this past weekend at Daffin Park in Savannah, Ga. The armed forces turned out in a very strong show of numbers. Westpoint, Select Army side, Bragg RFC and the 75th Rangers all represented the Army in great form. The Air force fielded two sides and the combined teams of Lejuene and Cherry Point made for an all marine side. The results are as follows:
ARMY SELECT results:
Army Select Side vs Cincinati Wolfhound 0 25 L
Short Kill River vs Army Select Side 5 21 W
Puna Foketi scored 2 tries, Nathan Conkey scored 1 try, 3 conversion by Mike Kelly
Baltimore Chesapeake vs Army Select Side 10 32 W
Nathan Conkey scored 2 tries, Puna Foketi 1 try, Dan Boyd 1 try, 1 penalty kick and 3 conversion by Mike Kelly.
BRAGG RUGBY Results:
Northern Florida University vs Bragg Rugby 5 0 L
Bragg Rugby vs Rocky Gorge 10 7 W
Golden Isles vs Bragg Rugby 0 7 W
WEST POINT Results: US Air Force vs West Point 10 22 W
West Point vs Detroit Tradesmen 17 23 L
Cincinnati Wolfhound vs West Point 10 23 W
RANGERS RESULTS: CUP WINNERS OF DIVISION 3
As you can see, the results show that there is very strong potential amongst the Army ranks!!! With more sponsorship and participation, this will help further develop the All Army Camp pool of players!!
The highlights that I would like to mention are:
1) West Point handed Air Force a loss. Air Force has a long history of winning a considerable amount of rugby tourneys.
2) Rangers win of the division 3 Cup!!
3)Showing West Pointers that there is rugby life after school .
I cannot thank DRASH and the staff enough for the tents, food and help!!!
