The Dauphin Clippers rugby teams swept the Crocus Plains Plainsmen in Westman High School Rugby action, May 6 in Dauphin.

The Clippers girls won their game, 52-0, while the Clippers boys picked up their first win with a 21-14 triumph.

Clippers girls coach Shawn Sarkonak felt his team moved the ball fairly well in the windy and rainy weather conditions.

“It did get sloppy at times, a bit. But I think the girls responded really well with the elements they were given. But I think the best part of the game was the tackling and counter-rucking,” he said.

“They were able to get the ball back if it was turned over or lost. And I thought that was part of the strong point of the game.”

The girls ended the regular season, Monday, with a 69-0 win over the Souris Sabres in Souris.

The league semifinals will take place, May 22 and 23, with the finals taking place, May 25.

No matter who they face in the playoffs, the Clippers are looking forward to defending their league championship.
