Myles Martin Weekly Alumni Report for June 24

The Beach 1st XV took to the main pitch hoping to bounce back from their loss last week. The gents played tough in the first half but went into halftime down 21–5 points. Unfortunately that was all the points we were able to put up against the CRU. The second half saw the CRU runaway with it 40-5

The 2nd XV game opened with a controversial try for the CRU. It looked like the ball was brought into the try zone by the Beach and grounded but the referee saw it as the CRU dotting down. This seemed to ignite the blue and gold and we applied pressure for the entire first until the CRU caved and gave up a score in the corner. Halftime was 7-5 CRU. The second half saw more pressure that the CRU couldn’t handle. We finally took the lead with 10 mins to go 12-7 making it the final.

The Beach 3rd XV found early success in set pieces especially lineouts where they dominated. The first half score was 14-5 for the CRU but you never would have guessed that considering how our forwards were punching holes in their defense. We opened up the second half with more tough running and a score but we couldn’t keep pace with the CRU. The CRU win 28-17

The TRU Women took on the Mississauga Blues as a rematch from the week before where they dropped over 50 points in a win under the lights. The women continue to look sharp and are getting better every week. Let’s be honest Mississauga didn’t want any part of the Beach especially on our home pitch. A perfect game in all aspects, the women win 103-0.
