The boys did an incredibly great job during the jamboree. For more than half the team, it was thier first taste of rugby. We ran away from Greenville2 some 25-0. Against Easely, we had the ball in thier half nearly the entire game but fell short on penalty kick, 3-0.
Against Greenville A, we played them even. But they scored a try and were ahead 5-0 when the game ended. There were only 20-minute halves. And there was much stoppage as the officials explained rule violations to new players. Looking ahead the games should be much more fluid and fast-paced. It is important to note that Easley crushed us by 50-something points last spring and Greenville by an equal margin. We will be good. Must keep working.
We will have practice Sunday at3 p.m. at East Riverside.
