…AS WE ARE HEADING AWAY TO Northeast Philadelphia Rugby TOMORROW FOR A REMATCH OF THE 2025 QUARTERFINAL! This is shaping up to be a good one as both teams are coming in undefeated. The Irish unfortunately got the better of us earlier in the spring, but we are excited to have a chance at setting the record straight. Come out and show your support if you’re able at 1pm tomorrow!!

Full time 94-33 Brandywine!!

We fell asleep in the opening 10 minutes letting multiple line breaks through, but big defensive efforts from Ryan Nathan and Chris Meyer kept us in the game early, and throughout the 80 minutes. Solid discipline at the breakdown, silky backline play, and good offloads after contact resulted in an emphatic week 3 win. All 23 players saw the field today with multiple try scorers as we were able to pull starters and experiment with different positions. We head away next weekend to Northeast Philadelphia Rugby hoping to build and continue our run of form.

Big shoutout to our captain Joe Bentivoglio who took home the man of the match award for his tremendous effort and contribution.
