Undefeated

BRFC is off to a good start this season with a 19-5 win over our cross town rivals.

Although it felt like an even game between even teams strategy and discipline won out. BRFC’s fly-half got us off to a good start with a penalty kick and kept us in our opponent’s end most of the game.

Sloppy conditions and stingy defence kept Ste. Anne’s from getting the ball wide although, they did manage some gains of their own with good strategic kicking from their experienced fly-half.

A very different Beaconsfield pack followed tradition and demonstrated their dominance in the scrums by scoring a push over try from the 5 meter line which was both the highlight of the game and of my life.

Radio had some powerful runs down the sideline and claims he was robbed of a try when his brother wouldn’t pass him the ball. He didn’t complain though, he got even by letting his brother get sent to the bin for his own foul.

Cousin Chris had a stormer of a game and was hopefully made to shoot the boot for his stellar performance.

Fil also rocked the house by going on some long runs right off the base of rucks and mauls.

Our substitute inside center filled in admirably and played well although everyone agrees he lacks Mike’s defensive skills and more importantly his school boyish good looks.

I don’t know who we play in two weeks but I imagine we’ll play a very conservative game in our opponent’s end and take advantage of their mistakes.
