Life University's Club Side Are Back-to-Back ARP Champions, UGA Sweep Their Last Home Day

Life University's club side finished on top of the American Rugby Premiership table for the second season running, five points clear; UGA's men swept their last home day in Athens, 24-10 over Tennessee B and 27-22 over Kennesaw State; Georgia Tech's unbeaten men drew Ole Miss in Saturday's SCRC D2 semifinal; and Kennesaw State's women play Appalachian State for a conference championship in Conway on Saturday, October 31

"Life U Club Rugby reigns once again," the American Rugby Premiership posted late on Sunday, October 25, over a graphic reading BACK-TO-BACK CHAMPIONS, SEASON 2026, and Life's club side reshared it to its own Story on Monday. The title was settled on the table: the league's standings graphic covers September 12 to October 23 and shows Life on 25 points, the next side on 20 and the third on 15, with Life idle in the final column. The one blemish was Saturday, October 17: "Fell short today," a 26-19 defeat per the ARP's Week 6 recap, "for the first time this season, Life University suffered a defeat." Life University also fields a varsity men's side in the college game, which won 46-15 at Penn State that same afternoon; this is the club side, and this is its second straight ARP title. The club's pinned schedule has one more date, at Greenville on Saturday, November 14.

"GOT IT DONE. DAWGS SWEEP AT HOME!" UGA's Monday post carries both cards from Saturday's last home day of the fall at the IM fields on Lake Herrick Drive: UGA 24, Tennessee B 10 for the A-side, and UGA 27, Kennesaw State 22. Kickoff had moved to 1 PM on Friday's notice, and the day doubled as the club's canned food drive. On Friday, October 30, the A-side goes to Auburn, a 6 PM Central kickoff at the Auburn University Sportsplex, "an A-SIDE MATCH ONLY" per the club's site; then Clemson on Saturday, November 7 at 1 PM, the B-side at Georgia College on Friday, November 13 at 6 PM, and a conference bowl game in Rock Hill, South Carolina, on November 21, details to come.

Georgia Tech's men closed a 6-0 regular season with a 45-38 win at Middle Tennessee, per the club, and the SCRC's match day graphic for Saturday, October 31, reshared on Tech's Story, has a D2 semifinal: Ole Miss against Georgia Tech, kickoff and venue to be posted. Kennesaw State's women are "CONFERENCE BOUND": a conference championship against Appalachian State at 3:30 PM on Saturday at 301 Allied Drive in Conway, South Carolina. The Exiles' 26-8 over Montgomery and Savannah's 33-24 at Hilton Head are in the men's section, and Hilton Head's own full-time graphic now carries the Savannah score too. North Georgia's men host Georgia College in Dahlonega at 1 PM on Saturday, and the Atlanta Bucks' Ruck N Maul Drag Show is November 14 at The Heretic. Every kickoff the clubs have posted is on the calendar.
