NM Brujos hold on to top El Paso, win 1st cup match of season! Practice changes! Rookie camp Sat!
On the tail end of a busy fall season the New Mexico Brujos sprung forward and got a leg up on the upcoming Rio Grande Rugby Union Season winning their first cup match. On a gorgeous but chilly autumn Saturday afternoon, the NM Brujos got out to a fast start and then held on to beat the visiting El Paso scorpions. Leading 31 to 14 at half, the Brujos then withstood a furious Scorpions rally in the second half, including an El Paso try in the last minutes of the game, and pulled out a 48 to 43 victory. The win puts the Brujos 1 and 0 on the 2022/23 RGRU season, which will continue with the bulk of its matches next spring. The Brujos will conclude their fall season with a trip to AZ for the Loudfest Rugby Tournament on December 3rd. Thanks to everyone that came out to support the boys in blue, see you all next spring! Que Viva!
