The Women's Premier League are holding their semifinal matches at Cottage Grove on Sept. 7th, 2024.
(Editor's Comment: It seems like every major rugby competition except for NCAA women and the National Teams are holding their playoffs at the all-grass Madison United Complex. It's well-earned as the club house, facility, and staff have been outstanding in every way. We know we're a little biased but it seems like everyone is jumping on board and it's raising the quality standards of the game).
The matches will be held at 1pm and 3pm, CST. The WPL details can be found here as they get determined in greater detail.
A comprehensive weekend info sheet can be found here. Interested volunteers should visit this page! Organizers are also interested in volunteer ball boys and girls as well as interested flag rugby participants to play exhibition matches at halftime of each match.
In addition, there will be a MIDDLE and HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS CLINIC held from 10am-12pm that day. Click here to sign up.
Kudos to MUR and the women's rugby leaders of Wisconsin for putting this together. The timing is perfect as Monona Grove expands it's flag rugby program. It appears inevitable that the Madison area will be starting a second high school girls contact team in the very near future. In fact, the Monona Grove Silver Sprinters were frequent champions of multiple flag rugby divisions at multiple flag rugby tournaments this summer. If their numbers and development continue, we could be seeing more high school participants in the Madison area in the very near future. This is also on the heels of a new girls high school team joining the WGR Fall Conference competition from Fox Cities.
