The final match of the day was a competition for third place between the Clydesdales and Badfellows in which the Badfellows came out on top.
“This is a relationship that I’d like to continue building (between ASU and Goodfellow AFB) and next year grow the size of the tournament by bringing in more teams, turning this into an annual event,” said Sergeant Anthony Kisiday of the 17th Communications Squadron who is the founder of the Badfellows club and organizer of the tournament as well as a former ASU Ram Rugby player.
