Service Victory in Virginia: Virginia 7 – 22 NICS 1st XV

After a brief but energetic warm up to help get the journey out of the ‘travellers’ legs, the match started perfectly with Service receiving the kick and driving back up the pitch for Chris Burns to crash over the line for the opening score with an unconverted try. Pete Hoskins helped settle any early nerves with a couple of well struck penalties after Virginia infringements, to increase the lead.

The second half was a more physical affair with big hits and hard running the order of the day. The scrum and lineouts were functioning well providing Man of the Match, Al Montgomery, with clean ball to release his backs. Indeed one such scrum resulted in ‘Monty’ popping to Chris Burns to slide over for a second try. Two more penalties from the boot of Hoskins sealed a confident display and a well-deserved victory over Virginia. Well done to all the team and thanks for the commitment on the day.
