Like past years, the 2022 HIPPOs division provides an opportunity for our retired players to dust off their cleats and hit the pitch “one last time”. The HIPPOs division started in 2019. It is restricted to those players aged 35 years or more, and/or weighing at least 275 pounds.
This is the third HIPPOs division at the Lakefront 7s and all three teams that registered have competed in each of the prior events: the Milwaukee Barbarians, Milwaukee RFC, and Fat Bois.
Milwaukee RFC had a strong team this year and went 3-0-0 in pool play. With only 3 teams, the final was a single match against the second-seeded Barbarians in a repeat of the final match from the 2021 HIPPOs division.
2022 HIPPOs championship match
Milwaukee RFC continued their strong “Old Boys” showing to capture the 2022 HIPPOs championship with a comprehensive 26-0 victory.
