HoundsRecap
Anthem RC host the Chicago Hounds in their finalhome fixture of their inaugural 2024 season.
Anthem put up a spirited fight and probably their finest performance of the season, but a late surge from the Hounds on the back of a pair of Dylan Fawsitt tries carried them to a 29-38 victory on the road, and clinching the first MLR Playoffs spot in their 2nd season. They also leap-frog Old Glory DC and now sit 3rd in the Eastern Conference.
