For the second successive match, the Montfort C Div Rugby Lions came up against one of the powerhouses of schools rugby and were humbled.
The Saint Andrew's rugby powerhouse smashed the Montfort C Div Rugby Lions 71-8 in an awesome display of aggressive rugby on Friday 31st July.
This was Montfort's first defeat in the 2009 C Division 2nd Round campaign and it was big loss that says that Montfort still has a long way to go before we can be regarded as a serious rugby school.
Saint Andrew's has invested heavily in an impressive coaching panel, headed by Saints Old Boy Gene Tong, and are well-supported by their Principal and HOD PE. Saint Andrew's is truly the benchmark for schools rugby in Singapore.
In today's match, Saint Andrew's had raced to an unassailable 45-3 lead by half-time with seven tries and five conversions.
Saints continued to rack up the tries with an addiitional four tries and three conversions during the second-half to make it 71-8. Montfort's only points were scored through a first half penalty kick by captain courageous Mohd Shamir and a second-half try by twinkle-toes winger Syahiran.
Despite the heavy defeat, the coaching panel of Euan, Feng Hua and Song You felt that Alvin Yap and Dominic Daniel put up a brave performance in the forwards and backline respectively and were duly named Man-of-The-Match.
Scorers (Montfort):
Tries: 01 (Syahiran)
