Several local papers covered the Wisconsin Girls Rugby State Championships last week. While the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel was poor in its coverage of the event, especially compared to past years, some local papers added some more detailed articles about the big event.
The Fond Du Lac Reporter, provided this article on our northern-most team's particpation.
The Express News, provided perhaps the most detailed article on the match and details about the solid program built in Menomonee Falls.
The Oak Creek Patch added a nice summary of their big game here.
and the Milw. Journel Sentinel provided at least a mention of the results, in addition to the previous week's preview.
The interest in rugby generated around our local communities by having long-standing girls programs continues to grow. Ten years ago, coverage was scare and attendance mediocre. Last week's tournament filled the park and the parking lot, and generated the most notice of any event to this date. In fact, the event has grown so much that moving locations to a facility with greater capacity is being discussed.
