CHERRYBONE MEMORIAL SEVENS UPDATE:

HURT 1st Side goes down in a heartbreaker to the Bonobos 21-19, while the HURT Social Side opens up with two wins against the Deadwood and the Hardwood.

CHERRYBONE MEMORIAL SEVENS UPDATE:

It’s been a tough afternoon for HURT as we move into the evening session of the tournament and hopefully it provides a boost for our fortunes. In what has been a familiar story this sevens campaign games have been decided by the bounce of a ball. So close but so far. Todays 1st side results bare the same story.

HURT 1ST SIDE
BONOBO (FT WORTH) 22 HURT 19
THE WOODLANDS 21 HURT 14

HURT SOCIAL SIDE
HURT BEAT THE DEADWOOD (WOODLANDS)
HURT BEAT THE HARDWOOD (WOODLANDS)
HURT LOST TO KATY

CHERRYBONE MEMORIAL SEVENS FINAL UPDATE:

Evening Session.
It would seem that HURT are better under lights!! A semi final win against cross town rivals BARC catapulted them into the Bowl Final against Fort Polk. The soldiers were very fit but HURT’s skill wore them down! HURT WINS THE BOWL!

HURT 1ST SIDE 36 BARC 7
HURT 1ST SIDE 33 FORT POLK 14

Thanks to the HURT Social Side which made the Shield Final going down to Katy.

Great day of rugby!!!

LONE STAR SEVENS TOURNAMENT FINAL UPDATE FROM HEAD COACH DAN GREEN:

The day was full of mixed fortunes with wins against San Antonio & The Woodlands but losses against Shreveport & El Azul. In the final, HURT faced off against tournament veterans: The Sperms. An exhausted HURT outfit fought valiantly but finished just a little short losing 26-14. A great effort by all those involved and and all bodes well for the Cherrybone Sevens on the 27th in the Woodlands.

FINAL SCORES
THE SPERMS 26 HURT 14
HURT 19 SAN ANTONIO 16
SHREVEPORT 24 HURT 21
HURT 26 THE WOODLANDS 10
EL AZUL 14 HURT 10
