Royal Irish, KC Blues Among Strong Field Set For Lindenwood HS Invitational

The schedule for the 2018 Lindenwood High School Invitational has been finalized, with an intense two days of action slated for this weekend's tournament in St. Charles, Missouri.

The boys varsity bracket is comprised of five teams and all will play each other once. Each squad will also have two shortened games on both Saturday and Sunday. High school players are limited to 90 minutes of rugby in a day, so in these multi-game tournaments, organizers usually limit the teams to that time of play.

The defending national high school club champion Royal Irish are joined in the boys varsity division by the nationally sixth-ranked Kansas City Blues and St. Thomas Aquinas, the 2017 Tier 2 high school national champion.

The Avon Swarm out of Indiana and the Missouri Bears select-side team are also competing in the bracket.

In the JV bracket, Royal Irish, KC, and Aquinas will field their younger players while Eureka comes in with its front-line squad.
