Coming back from two 10 point deficits, our young Rugby players played with grit, intensity and intelligence. Bryson R scored two tries as did Damien G. Justin V added another try. Justin also converted three of five kicks at post. Great efforts also put forward by Riley D, Reese L, Jayden A, Noah N and Cole M. The final score was 33 to 25.
