The Cayman rugby scene is busy this month with Ashbury College from Ottawa and Princeton University from New Jersey visiting to face off in a series of games against the national men’s Under-19 team, the national men’s XV and Cayman Select sides, which features players not eligible to play for Cayman from the local sides.
Princeton University, an Ivy League school, has a strong showing in rugby, having won the Ivy League Championships six times. The national men’s XV, with their lackluster showing against top US college team Dartmouth this time last year, intend to get their 2013 international preparations to the best start possible.

Ashbury College RFC are no strangers to Cayman, last visiting in 2005. And based on their close games against Bermuda in their 2010 tour to the Caribbean, the club should pose stiff competition to Cayman, which like their older counterparts are preparing for the Caribbean Championships.
