The Lamorinda Rugby Club concluded its season by competing in the Norcal Rugby End of Season Tournament at the Wilder Fields in Orinda on March 15. Here are some of the highlights for the tournament.
U8 Division
Lamorinda Rugby had 28 players and entered three teams in the U8 division. The three Lamorinda teams combined to go 8-1 in the tournament. Mya Dunne was awarded Player of the Tournament by the referees and tournament organizers for her outstanding play and sportsmanship.
U10 Division
Lamorinda Rugby had 48 players entered on two teams for the tournament in the U10 division. Lamorinda U10 Lights competed against 11 teams from the Bay and Sacramento Area. They won all three of their matches by a combined score of 21-4. The U10 Opens demonstrated great sportsmanship by lending many of their players to other teams throughout the tournament to enable those teams to field a full roster.
U12 Division
Lamorinda Rugby had 75 players entered on four teams for the tournament in the U12 Division. The U12 Lights were led by Will Berrien, Brady Brinkman, Matthew Muren, Luke Souza, Calvin Dakis and Owen Peck, who all scored. Luke Pearson had the play of the day intercepting a pass and scoring on a 40-yard scamper.
One of the Lamorinda U12 Open teams went undefeated in the tournament. John Jarnigan, Sam Ross, Christian Moncayo, Charlie Saunders, Chris Bruen, Niko Cortessis, Adrian Hunt, Stradley Foutch, Liam O'Leary, Dane Elento, and Roenigk Straub all had outstanding plays in the tournament.
