Milwaukee rugby team defeat Chicago rivals in closely contested CARFU Cup final.

Quins V Lions 2010

The Milwaukee Harlequins (USA Rugby Division I) today defeated the Chicago Lions (USA Rugby Super League) in an exciting climax to the 2010 CARFU Cup.

Having lost in the 2009 CARFU Cup final, the Harlequins were only looking for one result. Ahead 8-7 at half though, the Lions charged back with two tries early in the second half.

With time running out, the Harlequins found themselves on the wrong side of a 22-15 scoreline.

Two well-maneuvered tries, including one in extra time, resulted in a 27-22 victory for the Harlequins and their first CARFU Cup championship.
