Mens Rugby Final Score: vs. L&C. victory 32 - 12.
Great rugby conditions and effectively worked passing and run movessaw that we overcame L&C by a significant margin.
Capt. John Klein picked up a knock on his knee during the first half
but continued playing from the start of the second half until the end
of the game.
Mens Rugby Final Score: vs. Willamette. loss 7 - 3.
Appalling weather conditions and a lack of full team put us at an
early disadvantage which looked very difficult to overcome. Willamette
broke through in a scrappy maneuvre which saw the ball bundled over
the line in a ruck of 10 players scrapping for the ball. A similar
move by Reed which should have been a try was given as a scrum on 5m.
I have no doubt that on a different day where we aren't at a numerical
disadvantage we could have definitely won the game.
