Medallion Shield Fourth Round
BRA 26 – 13 ERGS
A tough day but a valiant effort by all the boys. A great start saw ERGS pin BRA in their own half for the full first 30 minutes with two tries from Ben Wallace and a penalty from Jake Hinchliffe giving us a 0-13 lead at half time.
As the second half started BRA now had the wind and used it to their advantage to score their first 7 points. As the half proceeded the physicallity of the contest started to take its toll with the bench stepping up well to keep us in the fight. Despite a valiant fight back in the final 5 minutes 19-13 (with a converted try needed to win it), it was BRA whose dogged determination managed to carry them over the line for the final score 26-13.
We now drop into the Medallion Plate competition and will play Ballyclare HS next week in the quarter finals… Still plenty to play for.
