Montfort Rugby kicked off their 2010 B Div Rugby season against ACS (Barker Road) on 19th Feb at ACJC.
The B Div team, which was hampered by a series of unforeseen setbacks, played above themselves in the match.
With Coach Feng Hua inspiring the boys, the Montfort Ruggers started the match with a series of blockbuster forward moves that nearly yielded a try in the first five mins.
But ACSBR came back and scored a lucky try after a miss tackle by a Montfort player in our 22.
That was the only try of the first half with ACSBR leading 5-0 at half-time.
In the second-half Montfort Rugby continued to pile on the pressure but conceded a soft try which was duly converted. That was when our boys started to let their heads drop and conceded two more tries to give ACSBR a 24-0 win which flattered the boys from Barker.
The Montfort Rugby loss was due to missing four crucial tackles which resulted in four tries.
Good defence wins games and the boys are looking forward to making amends against Jurong Sec on Tuesday 23rd Feb at CCAB.
