Report

Old Glory DC travel to Charlotte to face Anthem RC in an Eastern Conference clash. The flags are on a tight turnaround after hosting the NOLA Gold 5 days ago.

Anthem RC have already been mathematically eliminated from the 2025 playoffs and are still looking for their first ever win as a franchise, with nearly 30 games under their belt. Old Glory DC are looking to keep their playoff hunt alive, and are coming off of a comfortable 27-14 victory over the NOLA Gold and are looking to keep up their momentum.

These teams have met 3 times in the past, with Anthem RC yet to defeat the Flags. It proved another tough outing for the USA’s rising stars. The visitors took the lead within 10 minutes, before Anthem took the lead with a 7pt try from Dylan Fortune. From that point however, it was all DC. The Flags retook the lead a minute later through Damien Hoyland, and had locked up the try BP before half time. Another two tries by Anthem RC were cancelled out by another 3 scores for DC, who locked up a bonus point victory with a final score of 19-41 to give Old Glory’s playoff hunt a big boost.
