13A’s rugby

The game between SBHS 13A’s and Newington 13B’s was INTENSE.  With 5 tries in the first half and 2 tries in the second half we put up a mighty defence in which Newington couldn’t break. But our conversions were off and we only scored 1 conversions so overall we won 37 to 0. Through that match the forwards learned to use the power of goosh goosh, something Alan Feng uses to unleash his aggroness. The backs perfected their moves with the forwards and the team had a good fun and extremely intense game.

13D’s rugby

The 13Ds played Shore in an interesting match. Immediately after kick-off, Pinyan Gao scored a try. Later on, Pinyan scored another 2 tries off the scrum. Waylon Lu scoring off a lineout and Rex Yi scoring off a hard run. One was converted and another just scraped over.

Unfortunately, the Shore Number 8 managed to score 7 tries on his own. He scored 6 times under the post, except when he was stopped short. After a valiant effort, we lost 47-29. Congratulations on a great effort!

14B match report

14Bs 5 lost to Newington 35

The 14Bs showed great improvement this week with much stronger defence then in weeks previous. However the 14Bs let the referees decisions get to them and lost some focus in the game. Despite this the 14Bs showed much improvement and are looking forward to games to come.

High 16As vs Newington 16Cs match report

High 16As were prepped for an 8am match against Newington 16Cs. Despite many early warnings beforehand and a lot of effort, many players didn’t manage to arrive early enough for a full warm-up. After hastily going through some set plays, High took to the field against Newington. From the kick off we knew that we were the better drilled and better trained side. High scored 4 unanswered tries in the first half through quick hands and excellent line running by outside centre Nathan Kok. However, High’s careless mistakes eventually lead to a Newington try immediately after half time. Despite this, High rallied and scored two more tries before the end of the game, the final score 34-5. Despite a good win, many issues were highlighted such as poor rucking and vision and the High 16As resolved to strive to train and work together as a team in future games.

Scorers: Shadman Ali, Michael Wong, Nathan Kok, Derek Trang (2) tries, Jonah Petrie 2 con.
