Victory against Abbotsford RFC, 66-0

We continued our winning streak today with a 66-0 victory against Abbotsford RFC, a team that had been undefeated in the area for four years. The match kicked off at 12:30pm, so it was much hotter than our other matches, which were played in the evening. We were also conscious that rugby gets better in British Colombia the closer you get to the coast, but we still managed to pull off an excellent victory. The Abbotsford team gave us a real physical challenge, but we continued to build upon our experiences in previous matches and scored some lovely team tries. The forwards scrummages and rucked very successfully, and the backs' moves were also excellent. Henry Brown, Ollie Currie, Sam Mount, Mike Papadopoulos, Nick Legg and Chris Isaacs all scored, and Will Cobb and Fergus Witt scored twice. Sam Mount scored seven out of nine conversions, and Ed Wilson scored the final one. Abbotsford RFC awarded man of the match to Sam Mount.

We then enjoyed freshly-barbecued burgers and hot dogs at the after-match tea, and a personalized cake baked by one of the Abbotsford parents.
