Villa 19 shut out Iona 7. Iona bombed a couple of long range tries at the start, then couldn't win a lineout to save themselves. Villa's defence won the day + they took points when they went down into the Iona 22. Iona's only points came 6 minutes from the end. 2nds went to Iona, which means...
As promised, I went out to Villa Park today to havealook at Villa v Pats. Villa won the 1sts maybe 31-19 or something around that, the 2nds was Villa 24-5 and the 3rds was Villa as well. The 1sts was much closer than the score line suggested and Pats had two yellows given against them one at the...
Lauries /Padua wasn't a very expansive game. Lauries chose to take maybe 3 shots at penalty goal, which might have pointed to the idea that even though it was a trial, the W was more important. The Padua sin bin was 7 mins from the end, the Lauries try was in the first 5 mins of the game...
Yes Havealook made the trek out to Villa. In the 1sts Iona were never in it. This was Villa's best performance of the year. Villa had 80% of the pill in the 1st half and by the 19th minute of the second half had got out to 36-7 before two late Iona tries added some respectability to the score...
OK here's one I'd be interested to know. Have Villa ever won a 2nd XV premiership in either AIC or TAS? You do want to take it "one game at a time" but you would say that they will go in as favourites against Padua, then should account for St Peters, which would set up a winner takes all game in...
Iona 41 - Villa 27. Iona received a yellow card from the kickoff, Villa capitalised and then hung around (to their credit) like an annoying pest all afternoon. Even led for 30 odd minutes.
2nds went to Villa 28-12. 3rds easily to Iona.
OK very little has been said about the Villa v SPLC trial. In terms of the form lines coming through the trials, the 95-5 result (which was confirmed to me today as being correct) looks a bit odd. Yes SPLC did lose some games on the Canberra tour but to better rugby schools than Villa and by...
No Ash v SPLC results in the paper this morning but with the exception of the 1sts and I think the 13A's, St Peters did not score a point yesterday.
12A 50-0
13A 72-7
14B's 68-0
14A 29-0
15A 29-0
16A 71-0
2nd XV 90-0
1st XV 44-14
14A, 15A & 16A were all very close to half time, then Ash ran...
