Stop by Alton Park on Allentown's south side any spring weekend and you'll recognize certain sounds like the ping of an aluminum bat hitting a softball, the thud of a strong forehand on the tennis courts or the rattle of a rim during a basketball game.
And if you're lucky, you'll hear bagpipes blaring an old Irish ditty at a rugby match.
That was the case Sunday when the pipes added an international flavor to the Allentown Area High School Rugby Blues' win over St. Gregory's Academy of Moscow, Pa.
The Blues consist of Lehigh Valley high school athletes. Over the last 4 years,the team won two Eastern Pennsylvania Rugby Union titles.
In March, the Blues traveled to Washington and played the Gonzaga Rugby Club tough before the nation's fourth-ranked team prevailed 8-5.
''That was a great experience for the kids,'' head coach Dan Benedict said.
