CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. - The P.E.I. Mudmen continue to roll as the division one and divisions two clubs earned victories in Rugby Nova Scotia senior men’s action Saturday in Charlottetown and Truro, N.S., respectively.
P.E.I. (5-0 in division one) upped its record to 1-1 in Maritime Elite League play by utilizing a dominant scrum with quick ball movement and hard running for a lobsided 76-3 thumping over the Saint John Trojans in the rain at Co-op Field.
