	Guinness Book of Records - American Flag Rugby Festival American Flag Rugby News and Press July 25, 2009 Youth recite the Pledge of Allegiance before the tournament commences. Youth rugby thrives in Morris County. Morris Rugby Corporation hosted what they believe to be the largest youth rugby festival in the world. The American Flag Rugby Festival is a culmination of a seven week season of youth rugby tournaments throughout Morris County New Jersey. Guinness Book of Records Morris Rugby Corp has attempted to break a Guinness Book of Records for the most youth rugby players at on event. We played 140 games on 17 pitches with 832 players. This was quite a feat. KJ Fuery submitted some highlights from Denville's efforts at the tournament. Here are some Highlights of the games. Eagle Division Amanda Black guided the D3 Eagles to a 2-1 record in the festival.

Falcon Divison We had two full sides for the Falcons on Saturday and even thought it was later than we hoped, by the second match we even had substitutes for each team. We were evenly divided by age and talent and we had two solid teams that played extremely well in the hot and humid conditions, with both team putting up plenty of tries as well as some tremendous defense. Overall I think we ended up 5-1 for the day, but we don’t determine success by the number of points but rather by the progress from the first day to the last, which was huge. All year we worked on passing the ball, taking it at pace, and teamwork. And it was great to see all three applied during the festival because it made the difference on at least four or five occasions between scoring and having our flags grabbed. It was great to see the ball passed down the line w/o having had our flag pulled to make the pass, having the runner take it at speed and everyone following the play in pursuit. And when one team was playing the other team was there cheering them on. We came a long way from week one, (especially the first year players) and it was a great finish to a great season. location: Black River Fields contact: KJ Feury email: KJFeury@optonline.net phone: 973.632.1864 Related Links Morris Youth Rugby website See all news »
