Here is the referee’s report from pelicanrefs.com:
PIEDMONT 33, MARIN HIGHLANDERS 19 Referee: John Coppinger
Rugby stars aligned last Saturday, as I was able to handle the Piedmont/Marin Highlander U19 match on the field turf of Redwood High in Larkspur at 11 in the morning and the Humboldt/Marin club match in Marin City at 1:30 that afternoon.
Piedmont traveled to Marin for a pre-season friendly. Both sides bloodied (probably a poor choice of a word given that a Piedmont player in the Frosh/Soph match split his head open and required a number of stitches before I arrived) a lot of new and younger players and the 33-19 score in favor of Piedmont probably shouldn’t be taken as an indication of anything. It was 26-12 in favor of Piedmont at the half. Piedmont has a number of impressive players, including Jesse Milne at flyhalf, Captain Travis Moscone at hooker, and Captain/#8 Carl Hendrickson. Milne is a junior and Moscone and Hendrickson I am told are Cal bound. Marin was smaller than Piedmont, but more aggressive in the loose and were ably led by their impressive captain/hooker, Jeff Calzeretta. Both teams showed discipline and accepted direction well and I wish them good luck in the upcoming season.
