Tucked away on a Bronx street corner, a storied gem of a sports ground was the setting of a historic professional rugby. And while the quirky Gaelic Park has its very own Green Monster, the NY jewel was not friendly to the visitors from Boston. Beantown’s Mystics were drubbed by their inspired hosts, Rugby United NY, who put a half century of points on their rivals from Tom Brady country. For those that attended, it was a glorious New York City event that will stay with them for a long, long time.
