- Player of the Day: Senior Teams (16s & Opens)- Levi Funa (1st XV)
- Rugby All Rounder of the Day (for effort/attitude on and off the field):
Baxter Torrance (1st XV)
- Team of the Day- 2nd XV
The 2nd XV are the Team of the Day.
Under heavy conditions the 2nd XV were superb.
Both teams exchanged tries in an extremely physical opening half as team went to the break on the even keel.
In a similar try to Aymeric Schmidt’s in the opening stanza, Harry Jones muscled his way over after an excellent line out drive to go to the lead.
The match ebbed and flowed and was highlighted by Cranbrook’s tight and resolute goal line defence that withheld Trinity’s attack to take an outstanding win.
Harri Smith, Theo Walsh and Finn Earl-Smith were tireless in the set piece and tight exchanges. While half back, Fletcher Gill and fly half Mat O’Neil marshalled their troops well. Elliot Price and Oscar Holland made invaluable contributions in the midfield.
We host Barker College on Saturday.
