Under the enthusiastic guidance of Mr Dave Oliver the mighty 13Bs recorded a rousing 39-10 win over Kinross to kick start proceedings in Orange.
Flying winger, Ethan Sweeney bagged a stunning four tries (and later crossed for two more in the 13A fixture!) while Ceilim O’Kelly ran roughshod through the defence with his powerful ball running. Gus Pulsford was tyrant around the breakdown and Jasper Lee very effective in the tight exchanges.
Special mention to the 15As and the 4th XV.
The 15As put in an outstanding performance and held on for a rousing victory. Lock Ferdinand Johnston was superb at the set piece and enjoyed several barnstorming runs. So too, Grayson Cayzer’s footwork in contact was outstanding. Halfback, Christopher Harris marshalled his troops effectively while Jack Best’s astute kicking from hand and off the tee proved decisive.
The 4th XV fixture saw somewhat of a homecoming for coach Dr Hirst. Indeed, it was he who took the spoils as his charges played some superb running rugby to take the win. Front rower, Julian Baggett was in the thick of the action in the forwards, lock Jack Stone was a handful every time he ran with the ball and Christian Collier enjoyed lots of space on the edge.
We host St Stanislaus this Saturday for a full round of fixtures.
