Both Orlando teams traveled to Tampa this weekend to take on Bay Area Krewe for the second straight week. Although the games were different in pace and style, the results were the same with both Division II and Division III securing wins.
Division II started immediately on the back foot and played an entire first half that saw the opposition control not only possession but territory as well. Lack of discipline at the breakdown and poor handling by the back line were all causes Division II found themselves down 10-0. Division II’s lone trip into the opposition 22 yielded 3 points before the half whistle.
In a complete reversal of there first half performance Division II spent a majority of the time in the opposition 22 and a result were able to secure field position that turned into three penalty goals. Krewe made a late push into our 22 before a crucial knock on and subsequent turnover led to the ball being put into touch and the final whistle being blown. Division II will travel to Cocoa to play Brevard on Sat. March 8th.
Final Score Orlando 12- Krewe 10
Scoring
Penalties: Matt Wise 1 (48th minute) ;
Ger Houlihan 3 (48th, 56th, 68th minutes)
Division III played a tough hard, fought back and forth game that saw both sides exchange long runs, mixed with good rucks and mauls to keep possession. Good team tackling by Division III led to a halftime score of 5-5. The second half was more of the same physical play that dominated the first half. A crucial point in the second half came when Krewe was caught off sides deep in their own territory. Orlando was able to put a penalty through in the 67th minute that sealed a win. Division II will travel to Ft. Pierce to play a grudge match against Treasure Coast next Saturday March 8.
