Montfort Rugby Lions put up a valiant fight in their second match of the 2009 B Div season against Pierce Secondary School at CCAB on Thursday 12th February.
It was a tight and tense encounter between the two teams. It was a battle of attrition in the forwards as both sets of packs smashed each other relentlessly for the first fifteen minutes of the game.
Montfort Lions, led by captain Muhd Firdaus, were stunned midway through in the first half by a Pierce try which was duly converted by our opponents.
But our Lions did not give up and managed to reduce the deficit before half-time with a try from Terence Liaw of Sec 4E1. The conversion was missed as both teams went into the first half break Montfort 5 Pierce 7.
In the second half, it was a grinding performance by both teams which saw Pierce score a try that was unconverted.
But our Lions did not give up and kept a relentless attack on Pierce. But time ran out when referee Douglas Danapal blew the final whistle.
The Lions had given their all in a close tense encounter. Congratulations to Pierce and their Coach Jamal. They deserved their win.
Final Score: Montfort Rugby Lions 5 Pierce 12. Montfort Rugby Lions Man-of-the-Match Lyon Ee (Forwards) and Muhd Nabil (Backs).
