Cuppers Rugby win
7 March 2013
Richard Foord, Men’s Rugby Captain, reports from the touchline:
Hertford didn’t have the best starts conceding an early Jesus try, however a penalty and a superb kick and chase try put them on the front foot. Momentum was halted somewhat in the second half; Hertford being reduced to 13 men just before the break. Dan Heasman was carded for a perfectly executed tip tackle whilst no-one really knows why Ben Girling was booked. Things looked bleak as Jesus scored in the 70th minute, taking the score to 20-15. However, the maroons showed great spirit, putting together a late surge; persistent forward play taking Hertford over the line for the the crucial score. Dave Franklin added the extras before putting over a drop goal 2 minutes later for added flair.
The final score was Hertford 25-20 Jesus, and it was the final of the Cuppers Bowl competition.
Congratulations to the team – pictured.
