JACKSONVILLE, FL – The USA Tomahawks defeated Jamaica in a sensational 37-22 come-from-behind victory in the Atlantic Cup Rugby League Test Saturday in Jacksonville, FL.
The Jamaicans led 12-10 at the half, but the Tomahawks rallied back in the second spell to take a well deserved victory.
Mystic River’s Derrick Roma added to the USA’s tally with a drop goal.
The Mystic River Rugby Club will host Morris RFC from New Jersey this Saturday (11/14) as the #1 NERFU seed. It is also our homecoming weekend and we look forward to seeing Mystics young and old come together for the match and post match at the ESAA.
Come out to Pine Banks Park in Malden at 1:00PM to show your support for the boys in BLUE!

The Boston Irish Wolfhounds and some very colorful pieces of paper denied Mystic River an undefeated run through the New England DI club league, but the damage wrought by the loss won’t be nearly as strong as the damage wrought by potential disciplinary action.
