The DII side has a week off, but Orlando is still in action with the DIII side travelling to Sarasota. The U19 match has been postponed. Their next match is in two weeks against Daytona. DIIIs will head out to Sarasota Saturday morning.
The DII side beat the Pelicans 55-5 in St. Pete. The DIII side didn’t fare as well suffering it’s first loss of the season at Brevard 50-3.
Our U19s won 34-19 against Lincoln Park Academy. Slow start, with LPA putting up 12 unanswered points in first 20 minutes. Orlando then wakes up and starts to play rugby after a rumbling, driving run through the middle of the LPA defense culminating in a diving try by Jacob Ponder (Flanker). Jacob was named Man of the Match.
Other tries were by: TJ Ramos (Prop), Conner Hoff (scrum half) and Casey Gerlach (#8). Clearly, the forwards were getting it done.
Conner went 6/7 kicking, including a beautiful 20 yarder from the side-line (4/4 conversions, 2/3 penalties).
Next week the DII side is off and the DIIIs head off to Sarasota. The U19s play Brevard at home.
Great day of Rugby! Orlando D3 wins 22-3 over Pasco & D2 wins 63-15 over Ft Lauderdale!! Our U19 boys came up a little short against Deltona, but showed some.heart by playing hard to the end.
