League Report

League Report

Though University was beaten 11-8 by St. George on Saturday, the team is still leading the competition, sharing top place with Sr. George.

It could be fairly said that Varsity were a little unlucky to lose.

St. George capitalised on all its scoring opportunities while Varsity did not.

Slippery conditions and a greasy ball greatly reduced the effectiveness of the fast Varsity backline, thus robbing the team of its main strength.

On the previous Saturday University gained a satisfying 12-7 win over Korodale.

This game was not only satisfying in that Varsity won, but also in that it made amends for a 48-7 thrashing given to Varsity by Korodale in the preliminary round.

This match had been the first game of the season, and for more than half of the players it was their first game of league ever, and thus Varsity was easily beaten.
