Teams were announced at the Lord Nelsons on Tuesday with each team looking fairly even. The first match of the league was played between the Europa Stormers and the Gibraltar Bay Buccaneers. The match was contested well between both sides and the Buccaneers showed they had the upper hand in the physicality of their play but quick thinking from the Stormers kept them in the game.
With the scores at 25-20 to the Buccaneers with only seconds left, the Stormers were awarded a penalty for offside and being meters from the line, crossed over for the try.
The day was a great success with all players enjoying their new stash. There was a good mix of players on show and many introductions amongst team mates but the players all gelled well in the end.
Next Thursday 6th April sees the Rock Scorpions take on the Strait Sharks with a chance for either team to go top of the league after the first round of matches. Hopefully this match will also prove to be a well contested match with the scores going down to the wire.
