The Connecticut Yankees Rugby Club opened its season Saturday by competing in the Four Leaf Tournament at Randall's Island in New York City.
The Norwalk-based Yankees reached the third round, winning one game and losing two, in the 16-team men's social division, which included a squad from Turks & Caicos Islands.

Connecticut rebounded with a 35-0 win over the Suffolk Bull Moose, the largest margin in the second round.

A Suffolk forward was overheard to say, "I don't like that {they're} twice our size." Early into the second half, the referee suggested to the Yankees that they were "tackling to hard" and requested they "take it easy on (Suffolk)."
The win allowed the Yankees to continue on in the tournament, but their day ended with a 13-0 defeat to the Washington (D.C.) Renegades. Connecticut finished the game a man down after forward Rene Abdalah was given a yellow card midway through the second half.
