Around the Ground at the MTG

It was a tough weekend for our senior teams. Friday Night Lights was again a success, with a good number of supporters cheering on both teams. Unfortunately, the Deacons were not able to prevent Snowdown from completing the double over them. Frank Morgan ran out for his 100^th cap for the 1^st XV, and despite being in the lead at half time, they could not build on it and let the home team get away from them through some costly mistakes and unanswered Westcombe tries. Our youth teams fared better with some big wins and fantastic rugby played by our rising stars. Special mention goes to Jake Robinson, Joe Fraser, Fin Akhurst, and Barney Burden for good shifts representing the U13’s.
