Equinox Rugby plays best match yet
The Equinox Rugby Football Club trekked down to Pittsfield, Mass., on Saturday to play its spring season opener against host Berkshire RFC. The local men's club played its best match ever, holding Berkshire to 10 points in the first half, until finally falling victim to conditioning in the second and losing by a final score of 31-0. Equinox flyhalf Jeremiah Rogers was named Man of the Match for his scrappy and fearless play, and the team's pack – particularly those forwards it absorbed from the Southern Vermont College team – rucked and mauled fiercely to keep the team in the game.
It doesn't appear that the SVC men or women will get to play this spring, and the fear is that the teams are being abandoned by the college following the firing of head coach Jeremiah Madison and failed hiring of Berkshire player-coach David Colli. Does SVC really care as much about its programs as its administration claimed during the Madison firing? Stay tuned...
