The St Andrew’s College 1st XV joined the rest of the rugby club in making a good start to their domestic season on Friday afternoon, when they won their game comfortably against Cambridge High School.
Getting quality possession deep in Cambridge’s territory early on in the game meant the St Andrew’s side were able to slip straight back into the effective attacking pattern of play that they had been working on in the preseason games and as a result scored early in the game.
This early score gave them the confidence to carry on playing in this manner. Because of the fast pace of the game they were then able to play into the space that Cambridge left in defence and create more great scoring opportunities.
St Andrew’s won 79-9. Scorers summary: Tries by Ryan Black (3), Ryan Dugmore (2), Grant Prior, Benjamin Davies, Ian Herold, Liam Henderson, Jonny Ford, two tries and one conversion by Dane van der Westhuizen and one try and six conversions by Ntsiki Mlamleli. The results were as follows: 1st XV won 79–9, 2nd XV won 38–3, 3rd XV won 33–5, 4th XV won 45–0, 5th XV won 63–0, 6th XV won 56–0, 15A won 19–17, 15B won 20–14, 15C won 49–5, 14A won 16–5, 14B won 24–0, 14C won 29–19.
