2nds Come from Behind Win
2nds would not be denied coming from behind to record a stirring 32-25 win and edged closer to the top 4 with a win against Paly. 1st surprised top of the table Paly, eventually going down 10-27 in what could have been the upset of the round, having been held up over the line twice. 3rds went down to the wire being pipped 17-19 in a solid and confidence building result.
4th Grade played good tight rugby against good opponent in Paly winning 24-5 and exteding their unbeaten lead at the top of the table Colts benefited from a bye during uni holiday to get their 5 points and stay atop their competition watching as the other top 4 sides duelled it out, with some result surprises all assisting the Colts to open a 2 point lead atop the table whilst the Womens team enjoyed a week off with a general bye.
