The Montfort C Div Rugby Lions put up a brave display against Raffles Institution but were humbled 27-0 at RI on Tuesday 11th August.
This was Montfort's second defeat in the 2009 C Division 2nd Round campaign and it meant that Montfort would now drop to the Plate Quarter-Finals of the National Schools Rugby Championship. We will meet either Evergreen or Greenridge in the Plate Quarter-Finals.
RI had invested heavily in an impressive coaching panel and are well-supported by their Senior Management, the Old Boys and RI Teacher-in-Charge Bernard Chan.
In Tuesday's match, Montfort made RI work hard in the first half and restricted RI to two unconverted tries and RI took 10-0 lead into the break.
In the second-half, RI put in a further three tries and one conversion to make it 27-0.
Despite the heavy defeat, Montfort's coaching panel of Euan, Feng Hua, Song You and Pan Chao felt that our players put up a brave performance in the forwards and backline respectively and tackled their hearts out. RI's five tries were scored as a result of five crucial miss tackles in our 22. So a painful but valuable lesson for our boys.
Nonetheless congratulations to RI for making it to the Cup Semi-Finals vs ACSI.
