2nd XV Named Team Of The Week In Opening Weekend Of Rugby Season
There were some encouraging performances from Kingswood’s rugby teams in the opening weekend of the season.
The 2nd XV were named Team of the Week in the closest match of the weekend. The lead changed hands four times as the 2nd XV secured a 22-17 victory against their King Edward’s counterparts.
A well-organised King Edward’s team took the lead and proved difficult to break down until a smart chip over the defence from Oscar, who was named Man of the Match, enabled Matthew to gather and score under the posts. A solid defensive second half performance allowed the team to stay in front, thanks largely to an excellent forward effort.
Elsewhere, the 1st XV showed excellent determination and character to push a highly-fancied King Edward’s team all the way in a narrow loss.
Both U16 and U14 teams had comfortable wins, with Bruin scoring a hat-trick for the U14As.
