Lamorinda JV rugby wins championship
Submitted by Thomas Miller
In a stunning display of player determination and skill and coaching excellence, Lamorinda (LAMO) JV Rugby completed their undefeated 12-0 season by dispatching Granite Bay Rugby Club 40-9 in the NorCal Premier League Rugby championship May 6 in Stockton.

Fresh from a dominating playoff victory over local powerhouse Danville Oaks, Granite Bay's big, strong, talented and well coached JV team took on LAMO's JV.

LAMO gave up three penalty kicks to Granite Bay in the first half, but scored 14 points of their own. The halftime score stood at 14-9 in favor of LAMO.

The second half, was all LAMO. Time and again Granite Bay made it close to the try line, but LAMO's defense turned them away, often stripping the ball and retaking possession.

LAMO scored 26 unanswered points in the second half to take home the NorCal Rugby Premier League championship by a score of 40-9.
