It was a busy weekend in the southern region of the Golden State as many high school rugby clubs were in action. And now that the majority of the clubs got their first games out of the way, the overall league mold is now starting to take form.

In the Central Division, Empire took out Belmont Shore 45-17 to take hold of first place and stay undefeated. Dead Rabbits RFC defeated Phantoms 22-0 and South Bay won by forfeit over Riverside to go into a three-way tie for third place with Back Bay just behind Fullerton who had a bye.

In the North Division, Santa Monica took out Santa Maria 69-0 to stay apace with the L.A. Cougars for first place. Orca U19B maintained their second place spot with a thundering 40-15 win over Pasadena.

In the South, lots of teams got their boots dirty for the first time this year. SOC Gators, Fallbrook, Mustangs and the Young Aztec were all victorious and therefore are all tied for first place with games next week.
