A win over Pineview Rugby Club sealed the title of Division 2 Champions for the Crusaders at the University of Utah Soccer Stadium recently.

The season started off strong for the Crusaders and they ended the regular season with a 4-2 record.  They then moved on to play in the quarter finals for state where we had a comfortable win over Davis High School Rugby Club and Hurricane High School Rugby Team, putting us into a tough finals against Pineview Rugby Club from St George. It was a well played game with The Crusaders coming up with a 19-14 win to take State.

This win means so much to us, for our team, and for the growth of Rugby in Utah. Crusaders Rugby Club is a high school rugby club consisting of players from Provo, Springville, Mapleton, Spanish Fork, and Payson. If any one is interested in playing Rugby for the Crusaders next season please contact David Ledward at 801-419-5794 or email at david @taxorganizer.biz.
