Congratulations as well to the Ohio Men's Selects as they went undefeated and took home the Plate Championship in Chicago, IL this weekend. A combination of some of the top players in Ohio came together to play other State Select sides this weekend and our Ohio boys came out on top. Ohio Selects will be promoted to the Cup competition next year as a result of their success! • From Cleveland - Crusaders President Chris Fischer, Coach Cory Graham, Captain Ryan Sands, Luke Duhigg, Jimmy Miller, Fuzz Dine, Bryn Watkins, Dylan Lewis, and Anthony Castrigano. The OH team was also made up of some of our athletic friends from @akronrugby, @cincinnati_rfc and @columbus_rugby (and @prhammer10 from STL). Well done, lads! Way to represent both Cleveland and our great state of Ohio. You've made us proud! • #cleveland #cle #ohio #oh #rugby #spring #summer #select #midwest #sport #sports (fb)

We wanted to take a second to congratulate some of the Cleveland area high school and youth teams on their incredibly successful seasons! Lots of our past and present players have emerged from these clubs and we're proud to have such a strong presence of talent in NEO. Congratulations to: @sihs_varsity15s on a National HS Championship and OH State Championship @sehs_rugby on a top 4 Nationals appearance and State Championship Runner-Up @medinarugby on a OH State Championship @westshore_lions_rugby on an OH State Championship and past Crusaders Tom Nemeth and Steve Burke coaching at Bruin Rugby U8 to a youth State Championship. Absolutely incredible, all! Northeast Ohio is an absolute powerhouse and we're excited to see many of these athletes repping our Blue and Orange for CLE in the future. Well done! • #cle #cleveland #highschool #rugby #champions #championship #sport #spring #summer #youth #state (fb)
