KEARSNEY College hosted Michaelhouse on a day when the hosts won 14 of the 18 rugby games played, two weeks ago.
Both first teams responded early in the match but it was Kearsney College who showed their intentions as they scored the first try straight from the kick-off.
Within 10 minutes into the game, Kearsney scored again on an angled run from Cameron Ritchie, the first of his four tries for the day. The visitors’ first real opportunity came from a run from the fly-half, but his final pass was intercepted by the ever-present flanker, Luke Croshaw. Following some good play, the hosts had a 24-0 lead which was stretched to a half-time score of 31-5.
Kearsney started the second half strongly with some well-executed moves and excellent play. With only a few seconds left on the clock, Michaelhouse opted for a deep kick-off, which Kearsney ran. Ritchie, finding a gap and running close to 30 metres, found centre, Cameron Craze, who masterfully found Luke Croshaw with a long pass on his inside. Winger, James Sutherland, converted for a 64-22 final score.
