DARC wins the Friendly against SFA: 39-19
SFA came up to play us in a friendly, and took an early lead with a quick try. DARC, coming off only a handful of 15s practices, woke up and started scoring (Jason will have a breakdown). Maybe it was moving Gonzo to flanker, maybe it was the new uniforms.
But it wasn't all rosy for DARC. This reporter counted no more than 10 examples of good tackling technique made by 4 or 5 players. And, as the score show, SFA was able to penetrate the defensive line (if you can call it that) repeatedly. They had several other opportunities where circumstances or a lucky grab-and-drag-down stopped them from running in a try - our back line defense was thin. This was not helped by herd of grazing heifers in the middle of the field, as early as 15 minutes into the game, watching some backs on the wing try to make tackles and ruck. Our defense is going to have to wake up to:
As always, we went to the Tipp afterward for beer, brats and a replay of the France v. Ireland cup game.
Thanks for coming SFA!
Critical Note to All DARC Players:
YOU WILL BRING A GALLON OF WATER TO EVERY GAME!
