Greetings Mystics,
This past Saturday, Mystic River played in their third ARP match of the season against rival Boston Irish Wolfhounds. Despite the harsh elements and aggressive play by the Wolfhounds, Mystic River came out victorious winning the match 28-11 and improving to 2-1 on the season.
This past Saturday at Pine Banks Park, Mystic River Rugby Club came away with two lopsided victories. The first game of the day was between Mystic’s Division 2 Barbarians and Amoskeag RFC in a NERFU league match. The Barbarians came away victorious, winning the game 73-24. After the victory, Mystic River’s Division 1 side hosted its first ever ARP match at Pine Banks and shut out Boston RFC, 86-0.
Last Saturday, Mystic River had their hands busy with two road games. Mystic River’s Division 1 team played in their first ARP match in club history and this season at Old Blue in New York City, but were unable to pull out a victory. The Division 2 Mystics travelled south to Weymouth and defeated South Shore.
