Salmon Arm Secondary’s Junior Boys Rugby team defeated Vernon Secondary School 27 to 10 last Friday.
The second half is where SAS made great gains, with the first half a nail bitter, says coach Greg Seed.
VSS opened the scoring with a lot of pressure to score seven minutes into the match. SAS countered with a strong run through the VSS team by Ryder Fortes to pass the ball backward to Noah Dies, to put the ball over the try line. Alex Muir scored 10 minutes later with an inspiring run from Eric ‘the’ Bruce.
Then it was a gallant Ryder Fortes number 8 pick-and-run over their wily winger from 10 yards out to score another five points.
VSS came back strong with another try. Making two more brilliant runs, shrugging off two and three players using his long straight arm, Noah Dies scored two more tries.
