Our Match Report
This past Sunday, your North Shore Reds hosted the South Shore Anchors for their final home game of the season at St. John’s Prep. The Anchors were able to strike early in the game. Immediately putting the Reds on the back foot. However, thanks to an interception from fly half James Sullivan, North Shore was able to score at the 10’ mark, with Tim Wilkinson scoring the conversion. Tim would be instrumental as he was perfect off the tee in this game.
The Reds would extend their lead off of a hard run from Flanker Joe Henry. Tom Moore would also score off a beautiful dummy pass, extending North Shore’s lead 21-7. Winger Arif Taruz would add to the Reds lead at the 31’ mark. South Shore would be able to capitalize on a tired North Shore defense line. The first half would end 28-21.
The second half would see the game settle into a defensive battle. North Shore would make long defensive stands on their side of the field, tiring out the Anchors. Winger Tommy Macrae would score a try with a great run down the side like in the 60’ mark. North Shores bench would also make a much needed impact, with Nate Mullins also adding a try of his own. Center Jeb Nicklas would get in on the scoring at the 71’ to put the game out of reach.
North Shore beats South Shore in the final game of the season 49-21. They end the season with a record of 3-4. Appreciation to all the new players and returning faces this year, as well as head coach Pecs Rinakama. Under your leadership the club is moving in the right direction. Stay tuned for banquet updates to come!
