The NHS Boys Rugby team: On a COLD, WET, and WINDY day your Nicolet Ruggers headed up to Grafton for a pre season scrimmage. The A side looked promising, scoring 5 times in 30 min of play. Despite tough field conditions, the guys controlled the ball and used space to set up some nice scoring drives. Grafton played tough and managed to punch one in just before the end of the 30 min. period. The B side looked solid as well and had success as we rotated in a mix of new and old players. Overall, a great start to the season and hats off to Grafton RFC for finding a field to play on.
