Wahoos remain unbeaten WAHOOS remain unbeaten after four rounds of the Heineken and Pizza Pizza Mixed Tag League. The defending champions came up against the dangerous, but lowly ranked Scotiabank Red Mist, who in their first match of the evening did a real number on the Navy Seals. The Wahoos were immediately on the back-foot as the Mist came out firing, with Chris Davies getting his team on the board very early on. Gordie Kerr notched up another try to go with his three from the earlier game, and then Rebecca Davies ensured bragging rights at home would be shared with Chris when she finished off an excellent team try to have the Scotiabank Red Mist out to a surprising, yet deserved, 5 – 0 lead. The Wahoos finally woke up and realised that they were in a match, as Augustin Modeste, who played very well all night, scored to open their account. The slippery Lincoln Outten then added another try to further stretch his big lead at the top of the individual try scorers’ table. Not to be outdone, Chris Davies scored his second and the Red Mist took a massive 6 – 2 lead into the half time break. The Wahoos, clearly benefitted from the break in their opponents’ momentum, rallied straight after the interval to score rapid fire tries through Anna Holland and newcomer Lisa, to suddenly grab the lead by 8 – 6. This proved the importance of creating ladies’
tries which are worth three points. The Scotiabank Red Mist never stopped trying to create chances, but an excellent pass from Outten gave Modeste enough space to beat his marker and go long range to score and extend the lead to three. This time though it was the Scotiabank Red Mist’s turn to again benefit from a lady’s try, as slick passing along the line gave Kerr enough time and space to pop a beautiful pass over the top to Jo Bowden who scored in the corner. This left just half a minute for the Wahoos to receive the kickoff and manufacture a try, but the Red wall was up to the task and a pulsating match finished all square at 9 – 9. Chris Davies was rewarded for his excellent play by being selected as the Pizza Pizza Player of the Week. Chris will receive a large pizza to share with his team mates courtesy of Pizza Pizza Grace Bay. The Trail Try Harders and Legion of Doom advanced their causes with good performances, moving up to second and third respectively. The Vix Tipsy Turtles lost both of the evening’s matches for the first time this season and slip to fourth. The BCQS Jolly Ranchers are hot on their heels while the Harriers and Navy Seals were expected to battle out the bottom of the table clash on Thursday. There are still four teams looking for sponsorship, which can be explored by interested parties by contacting Jamie Tait at rdo@rugby.tc.
Derilien adding the others. In the opening game Pedagogue FC also recorded a 4-0 victory when they defeated the Centre of Excellence Boys. Romain Small, Haroon Swaby and Erwin Twain scored for the winners. Despite the score-line the young boys walked off with their heads held high since this was the first time that
they had played against adult oppositions. And despite their lack of size and experience they held their own against the Provo Premier League team. SWA Sharks pulled off a dramatic victory as they came back from 3-1 down to defeat the AFC Academy 4-3. Paul Collis had given the Sharks the lead before Myrohn Pereira, Wildens Delva and Fred Dorvil

opened up a comfortable lead for the Academy team. However, complacency seemed to set in and AFC Academy did not anticipate a determined Shark’s performance in the second half as goals by Richard Lock and Arlindo Serpa (2) gave the Sharks a well earned victory. Games will be played every Monday evening at the TCIFA fields at 6.00pm and 7.00pm.
