The SJRFC Devils cruised to an
easy 51-0 victory over the Washington Renegades RFC
at Evesham Rd. The B side game was cancelled at
WRRFC request.
1st Half
(notes got wet/damaged; sorry if there are
errors-let me know)
It was windy, rainy and cold at
kickoff time with the D-III South bottom dweller
WRRFC-definitely not the conditions or the team the
Devils really wanted to right-the-ship after last
weeks 34-0 losing debacle. At any rate, both teams
got on with it with the Devils dominating, despite
playing against a tough wind. The first half was a
one-sided track meet from the kickoff. At 4:00,
winger Bill Blauvelt finished a weak side movement
for a try in the corner. At 7:00, flanker Mike
Eykyn popped up in the backs and weaved his way into
the clear for a 50 yard try. Winger Tom Ferrari
finished a nice movement at 12:00 followed by
flanker Phil Wright with a weak play off the ensuing
kickoff. Fullback Mike Rimositis got in at 21:00
with a conversion by Bill Stom. Ferrari got his
second of the day at 28:00 and kicked his own
conversion. Mike Eykyn scored his second of the day
at 38:00. Half time score: 39-0
2nd Half
The Devils, sensing that WRRFC
may waiver on the B-game in favor of the warmth of
RMACs, subbed all the reserves at halftime and the
scoring slowed down a bit. Mike Rimositis continued
to have an exceptional game at fullback and got in
at 16:00, Stom converted. Berger Brotz powered
over a prancing winger at 32:00 to finish the
onslaught.
Final score: 51-0
Coaches Comments: Two players
played new positions and did very well-Mike
Rimositis at fullback and Tony Pellegrino at
hooker. Phil Wright returned looking like he did
more than drink Guinness on tour in Ireland. James
Kelly impressed in his first A-side appearance at
flanker.
All efforts must now focus
on Union, our toughest game of the year.
