What a night of rugby, or at least so I heard. Couldn't make this weeks round due to prior commitments in that place, with that girl, doing that thing but you know how it goes. That is the reason the highly sought after Medalist balls weren't available, but I'll make it up to. Hence I am wrapping this round vicariously...
As you can see from the results there were some close encounters and some not so close encounters. The Sobhar Shield seems to be injecting the extra impetus it was meant to with both of those games being tighter than a nun's...habit. The Purple "slap slap hiss" Cobras robbed Baabaas of their coveted Shiled depsite been outscored 4 tries to 3. The hapless Barbarians' kicker (if you can call him that) just had to knock one over for the win. Unfortunately for them regular kicker and star flyhalf Jamie Shaw was out with concussion. In the other game the Shebeen Boys retained the Shield for the 2nd consecutive week (a new record I might add) by beating off the contenders, Hidding Hall. The game could have gone either way with the Shebeen Boys scoring off a charge down and Hidding from an intercept. Ah, such is the nature of the game.
In the A League a fired up Ubumbo put the Marquard Lions to sleep with a convincing win, but were unable to gain the valuable 4 try bonus point. Nadoes swept through the Rochester Rhinos somewhat easily 55-0. This was expected though, and it was heard said on the touchline that spectators wished that the Rhinos' defence wasn't as pregnable as their first year girls...
In the B League, Panthers resurged from last rounds defeat to claim 5 log point after beating the Turtles 29-21. It was definitely a better result for the Turtles after some hapless wins and mention must go to Craig Heymans (related to cedric???) who scored all 3 of their tries. Not since the Kulula Dragons dominated the B-league has such a feat been repeated. (think it was their lank goodlooking rockstar fullback) Wildboys also chalked up a 5 point win against College House. Wildboys certainly have their eyes set on higher honours this year...
Prizes to follow...
