Madison Rugby Coach Jay Rubino says the tournament, held this year for the first time at the Surf Club, was a success.

"The final tally for attendees was over 1200 people ... The weather was perfect as many athletes cooled down after their matches with a cool dip in the Sound," he said. "So many coaches, referees, supporters and friends complimented the great venue, food, and services of the Madison U-19 team hosting the event. Hats off to all that made it possible!!"
