Young rugby enthusiasts in the Under-10 through Under-14 age groups will hit the pitch for a tournament this weekend in the Triangle.
The Raleigh Rattlesnakes, part of the Raleigh Rugby Football Club and the N.C. Youth Rugby Union, will host the Carolina Cup on Saturday at the Raleigh Rugby Complex at 7414 Poole Road, about four miles east of the beltline.
Round-robin play starts at 10 a.m. with matches on two pitches, and the last matches are scheduled to start at about 2 p.m.
Touch and tackle teams, some of them coed, from Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Charlotte and Winston-Salem are entered, said RRFC youth team coordinator Tom Myatt.
