MALDEN, MA – The Mystics kicked their fall season off with a thorough 62-22 defeat of the visiting Royal Scots Borderers 1st Battalion on Saturday. The forwards did the hard work in the rucks and contact to produce clean ball, and the backs made excellent use of their opportunities to get points on the board. The team looks to be in great shape leading into the Fall opener against NYAC this coming Saturday, and the boys are working out the kinks to get things 110% ready for the start of the league.

Mystic River Falls Short Against Boston
BOSTON, MA – The Mystics fought hard against Boston on Saturday, but didn’t take advantage of their opportunities to keep the game tight. The first half was a hard-fought battle where neither team gave any ground. Boston managed to score two tries and a penalty to take a 17-0 lead into half time, but the Mystics had squandered multiple trips into the Boston 22, so the game was still very much on the line.
