Montfort Rugby emerged 3rd in the National Schools B Division Rugby Tournament (Plate Category) when they beat a spirited Jurong Secondary team 12-0 at Saints Village on Thursday 8th April.
The 3rd/4th placing match got off to a good start when Montfort's fly-half and vice-captain, Mohd Shamir, managed to break through and score mid-way through the first half. The try was duly converted by captain, Mohd Nabil.
The match then settled into a stalemate with several bone-crunching tackles by both teams. The half-time could not have come earlier for the Montfort ruggers. After a motivational half-time team talk by Old Boy Coach Low Feng Hua, the Montfort Ruggers came out roaring in the second-half with a try by forward Lyon Ee Boon Tong.
After that try, Montfort tried valiantly to score another try but were met with a spirited defence by the boys from Jurong.
In the end, what mattered was that Montfort overcame Jurong and clinched the 3rd place.
Well Done Montfort Ruggers.
