Congratulations boys and good luck this weekend!
The DIIs got back to their winning ways posting a 29-20 win over Krewe. No details yet, but a big win away.
The U19s didn’t fare as well falling to Deltona 60-5. Again no details yet, but we’ll post them as they come in.
The DIIs suffered their first defeat this season losing away at Naples 21-10. Orlando opened the books with an unconverted try in the first ten minutes by Kenny Britt, but the Naples defense tightened up afterwards and kept Orlando pinned in its own half for much of the remaining half. The pressure eventually yielded two converted tries and ORFC went into halftime down 14 to 5.
The second half saw more of the same solid defense from Naples. Orlando scored again with a try in the corner by Jimmy Vetter, unconverted. Naples picked up one more try off a intercepted pass with around 15 minutes to go and controlled the ball to run out the clock. A tough blow for the DIIs but one they’ll have to overcome quickly as they face Krewe next week.
The DIIs head down to Naples this week for a showdown with the only other undefeated team in the league. The winner will be in the driver seat with over half of the season gone so wish the boys well. The DIIIs get a much needed week off while the U19s host Daytona.
