Full Match – Mexico vs Cayman Islands

The fairy tale came to an end on Saturday as the Cayman Islands fell to defeat to Mexico by a score of 34-24 in Dos Ríos. Playing at the extreme altitude of 8,600 feet above sea level, the Caymans produced a valiant effort that saw them claw back from a 27-7 halftime deficit to make things interesting at the end. The Rugby Americas North match also doubled as a World Cup qualifier, and Mexico now moves on to face Guyana on July 23.
