Our Montfortian Giants played like brave warriors when they faced SJI at SJI on Tuesday afternoon. In fact our Warriors were leading 7-5 at half-time but SJI clawed their way back to lead 19-7 with five minutes to go.
Our Giants pushed SJI all the way to the final whistle but were narrowly beaten by SJI 19-14.
This narrow defeat at the hands of our fellow Catholic brother school had some positives.
The Montfortian Giants did not give up even when they trailing 19-7 with five minutes to spare. Captain Low Feng Hua narrowed the score to 19-14 with a converted try with four minutes remaining. This set up a frentic finish but SJI just hung on for their lives to snatch a narrow victory.
Montfort's tries were scored by our Captain Low Feng Hua and Ng Kian Hao. Feng Hua also converted one of the tries while Vice-Captain Ng Song Yu chipped in with a conversion.
Today's game also marked the debut of our school softballer Tan Ming Liang. Ming Liang played his heart out and has loads of potential to be a good rugby player. All players who wore the Montfort jersey today did the school proud. Gentlemen, you are all true warriors and Giants!
We may have lost to SJI today. But we will bounce back and give our best shot against Bedok Town on Friday at SAJC.
To God Be The Glory!
