Bytown Blues Update August 1st 2018
Posted on:Blues Top of the Table after Kingston Weekend
2 wins for the senior men as the Bytown Blues are back on top of both the 1xv and 2xv tables after the weekend. 2 really good Kingston Panthers teams came to Ottawa in a battle of 1st and second place. The 13-5 win for the 2xv did not come easy as they face a large Kingston pack with a lot to prove. Inspired performances by Mark Scholl, Philip Moorcroft, and man of the match: Mohamed Hozayen saw the 2xv secure 1st place in the league.
The 1xv kicked off with a quick Try for Bytown, but that would be the end of the easy points as Kingston defended the Bytown attack with not much gain from the Blues. Man of the match Nassim Ibekourene put in hard work at the contact area to secure the 27-17 win.
