C Div Match Report 1: Montfort vs Damai







Montfort C Div Rugby Lions smashed Damai Secondary 27-5 at Damai on Thursday afternoon.

The Montfort C Div Rugby Boys were leading 10-5 at half-time.

Captain Mohd Shamir led from the front by opening the try scoring after wonderfully worked move. Damai then drew level before hooker Lewis Syn scored a try to make it a tight tense first half which saw both sides probably rusty due to the enforced CCA closure caused by the H1N1 virus these past three weeks.

After a half-time pep-talk by the coaches and teachers, Montfort Rugby Lions roared back with a vengence.

In the second-half, Shamir added two more tries before flanker Chinakrit added a fifth try to seal the match in the final five minutes of the match.

Match referee Kelvin Lee policed the breakdown well and had a firm grip on the game and the single yellow card was a testimony to his firm handling of the match.

Only one of the five tries were converted by Shamir. The lack of goal-kicking options is bound to worry the coaching panel in the coming weeks.

The coaching panel named Syahiran as the Man-of-The-Match while the 2nd row partnership of Azhar and Fakhrul were voted as Forwards-of-The-Match.

Scorers:
Tries: Mohd Shamir (3), Lewis Syn, Chinakrit
Cons: Mohd Shamir (1)
