The Final Results and Standings

Wisconsin Championship Results:

7th Place: DSHA B 56 Oak Creek 0
5th Place: Kettle Moraine 59 Northshore 7
3rd Place: Vernon 24 Brookfield 7
1st Place: DSHA 5 Catholic Memorial H.S. 0

Also, members of the Wisconsin League are Pius IX, which completed its very first season this year, Fond du Lac and Muskego.

These final results are noteworthy. This is the closest 1st place match in recent years (last year it was a 27 point margin) in Wisconsin and, in fact, one of the closest final matches that DSHA has played in the last few years at either a Territorial or National level. Lakewood (also from the Midwest (yeah!) fell to DSHA in the 2008 National Tournament 17-3 and at the 2008 Midwest 15-10.

In short, Catholic Memorial and DHSA treated fans to an exciting, even if low scoring, battle on the pitch. It was played with pace and skill on both sides right until the final minute of the game. It was quality rugby and bodes will for the future success of the Wisconsin Girls Rugby as we know that each season, we are competing against some of the best teams, not only in the Midwest but in the Nation.

Also, worthy of note, there was a lot of movement on the tables this year compared to last year: Northoshore rose from 8th to 6th; KM rose from 6th to 5th; Brookfield rose from 5th to 4th; Catholic Memorial rose from 3rd to 2nd; Vernon fell from 2nd to 3rd; and Muskego fell from 4th; Oak Creek (in reality) maintained 7th place; DS managed to hold on to #1 by a narrowing margin!
