The Tridents cap the 2016-2017 season as the undefeated Florida State Rugby Champions.

On Saturday, April 22nd, 2017, in Wellington, Florida, the Tridents reclaimed the State Championship in a dominating 43-14 win over Boca Raton R.F.C.. The outcome was never in doubt. Neil Morvant, prop, scored a try in the sixth minute to open up the scoring. Tries from six different players, including two from Andy Kozak, flanker, and a stout defense never allowed the Buccaneers to form any sort of momentum.

The Florida Rugby Union chose Theo Buchel, scrum-half, as the Most Valuable Player after a dazzling display of footwork and precise passing.

Next up for the Tridents is the Southern Regionals where the best teams from the Florida, Carolinas-Georgia, and True South Rugby Unions will compete for the South Championship. The Southern Regionals will be held on May 6th & 7th at Ormond Beach, FL.
