Bishop Anstey ‘B’ stay unbeaten in Schools Rugby

If any challenge would come for the early leaders it would be from their schoolmates on the Bishop Anstey ‘A’ team, and it was a matchup which did not disappoint.

One score separated the teams, as Keryce Baptiste’s two tries proved to be the decisive factor in a 10-5 win which helped the ‘B’ team preserve a perfect start to the new season.

Annalee Lucas scored the only try for Bishop Anstey ‘A’.

St James Secondary produced the largest margin of victory so far this season, when they completed a 39-0 thrashing of Bishop’s Centenary College. Jade Husbands scored two tries and two conversions, and had more than enough assistance from Patiea Paul (three tries) and Tela Waqa (two tries).

St James were comfortable winners and moved up the table to third position with 13 points from four matches, one adrift of second placed Providence Girls Catholic School. The clash between St James and Providence will be a top fixture in the next round. Providence go into that match in positive form as well, following their big win over Holy Name Convent’s ‘B’ team. The game was controlled by the Belmont team from beginning to end, resulting in a final score of 20-0.

Kyiala Simon was again among the scoring for Providence, taking the ball over the try line twice while Shiyan Cato and Charlotte Wingham scored one apiece.

The league will take a break for the Carnival festivities, resuming on March 8.
