They didn’t forget to tackle with only 450 points conceded throughout the day which is an average of 11.8 points per match. The opposition was held below 8 points in 18 games – the opposition failed to get on the board at all in 9 games.
- The Opens and 14s were the most successful age groups with no losses to external teams. The Opens were dominant, winning games by large margins with an average points differential of 38.6 points (points for minus points conceded divided by the number of games). The 14s had to work harder but deservedly got the chocolates in all their games – their average points differential was only 16.6 points.
- Most successful team of the day was the 15Ds who defeated Shore by 102-7 despite having to remove players from the field due to the mercy rule. Groundsman Scott will need to replace turf on SJC No 4 after the 15Ds ran in 16 tries – that’s 1 try every 3.1 minutes!!
- The game of the day was the internal clash between the 16Cs and the 15As. The 16Cs had a huge size advantage and really took the game to the 15As. The 15As refused to be intimidated and played a smart game to counter the size of their opposition. The 16Cs were ahead throughout the game and appeared to have the victory secured until an attacking raid from within their own half in the final 2 minutes resulted in a match winning try to the 15As. The 15As were warmly applauded by the crowd after their 15-12 win – a wonderful story after their 15-3 defeat by King’s on the previous Saturday.
