Men’s Division II:
Only one game took place in the north competition, again between the Austin Huns D2 and Austin Blacks D2; and once again it was the Blacks D2 squad winning, 29-22. With ten minutes left in the game, the Huns D2 held a 17-15 lead, they looked to have put the nail in the coffin in the 72nd minute with another try. However, a penalty try in the 75th minute brought the game back to level pegging and a try on the whistle ensure the Blacks escaped with the victory.
In the South/Central competitions, the games were not as close. The San Marcos Greys made quick work of San Antonio Rugby D2, 29-5 and Houston Athletic were big winners over West Houston Lions D2, 73-7.
