Seven Fallbrook ruggers to play in girls' all-star tournament

Seven members of the Fallbrook Rugby Club will spend this weekend in Fort Lauderdale for the under-19 girls’ National All-Star Championships.

Six of the Fallbrook girls will be playing for the Southern California Griffins, one of seven regional teams which will compete in the November 21-22 tournament.

The eighth team in the tournament is USA Rugby’s under-17 national team, which includes Fallbrook High School junior Tara Burke.

“It’s pretty good,” said Fallbrook Rugby Club girls’ coach Marin Pinnell. “Fallbrook’s definitely developing as a girls’ rugby side. We have a great group.”
