Perennials Rugby Club I XV v BHSFP Rugby Club Select XV: Unbeaten Record Intact: Report & Pictures

Perennials v BHSFP 09 October 2011

The Perennials maintained there unbeaten record with a hard fought and physical tussle at Upper Greenisland against BHSFP. It was a highly entertaining match that produced some great flowing and skillful rugby from both sides, with the Perennials edging it by 6 tries to 4.

With the High School FP’s scoring first things looked ominous, but a master stroke from the coach in replacing stand in out half Stewart Porter with Davy Wilson, say the Perennials take the lead in the second quarter and hold onto it until the final whistle.

Davy Wilson led the way on the score sheet by notching up a hat trick of tries and score of the match was by Chris Weinger, who sold an embarrassing dummy to run in from some 50 yards, as he was overheard to tell the girls in the bar. There is debate over who scored the other two tries so we will leave that as the mystery.

With some new faces on show Douglas Ferguson, Mike Watson, Michael Simms, Neil Murphy and Kirk Macewan this fresh blood should add to our playing strength.

A big thank you to Tim Lowry our referee and to High School’s Ken Hutchinson for arranging the fixture and to his team of helpers for providing their usual first class hospitality. Click here for photos
