BATON ROUGE RUGBY OVERWHELMS PENSACOLA - 10/18/08

The Baton Rouge Rugby Club got off to a fast start on the new season with a convincing 39 – 12 win over the Pensacola Rugby Club this past Saturday at Highland Road Park. A nice crowd turned out for the match and to enjoy the weather.

Pensacola had an athletic pack and pressured Baton Rouge in the early moments of the match, but squandered an early opportunity to take the lead on a missed a penalty kick. A Baton Rouge counter-attack after a Pensacola handling error yielded the match’s first score after only eight minutes. Baton Rouge then capitalized on another Pensacola breakdown soon after for a second score. This seemed to take some of the spring out of the step of the visitors and the match swung entirely in Baton Rouge’s favor in virtually every phase of the game. Two more scores followed before the end of the half with Baton Rouge holding a 24 – 0 lead.

Pensacola got on the board early in the second half when Baton Rouge failed to take care of the ball and scored a second try late in the match, but Baton Rouge added three more trys of their own to make the final score 39 – 12. The try scorers for Baton Rouge were Ryan Andre (2), Mike Dellafiora, Seth Stevenson, Junior Maiava, Morgan Landry and Rob Miller. Brett Somers captained the side and played an excellent match at flanker, as did Brent Worboys. Coach Brad Hudson would also like to thank all those who filled in to help make up the numbers for Pensacola.
