The Savannah Shamrocks will host the Athens Eagles for the second consecutive year in the Georgia Rugby Union (GRU) Championship game.  The game will be played at Daffin Park with a 1:00pm kickoff scheduled.  This game features a rematch of last years GRU Championship game that won narrowly in the final minute of the game by Savannah 29-28.  Savannah’s 2015 season featured an 9-0 regular season, including a victory over the Eagles in Athens on March 28 by a score of 30-17.  Savannah’s regular season included victories over #2 Athens on the road, #3 High Country on the road and #4 Old White at home.  Athens completed their regular season with a 6-3 record and clinched the #2 seed in the final week of the regular season.  Both teams have advanced through the semi-finals and are hoping to punch their ticket to the Southern Conference Final Four to be played in Augusta, Georgia the weekend of May 16-17.  In doing so they will join Clinch River (winners of the True South), Gainesville (winners of Florida) and Cape Fear (winners of the Carolinas).  Best of luck to the Savannah Shamrocks as the seek their second straight GRU Title.  Go Rocks!
