Recap

Hunters Rugby 2^nd team, playing in their first competitive match of the season, hosted some familiar faces from St Philips 2^nd team. Steve Turner and Simon Piercy played first for Hunters, taking on Pete Martin and Arthur Male of St Philips. Hunters took the first game with a convincing 21-10 score, but St Philips won the second game 16-21, before Hunters took the deciding game 21-11 to secure the rubber. Meanwhile the Hunters pair of Lee Rickard and Neil Porter had a more straightforward win over league veterans Rob Fowler and Mark Hope, securing the rubber 21-12, 21-14. From that point onwards Hunters found a good run of form, and the remaining rubbers all went in favour of the Hunters team. A good start for Hunters 2 – but there will be much tougher games ahead against the league’s first teams.
