PLAY! - Kicks Off University Friendlies

University Friendlies
NUS Main Field
Saturday 8 November 2008


As part of the SRU's initiative in the universities - PLAY! Introduction to Contact Rugby for Girls in Universities, National University of Singapore (NUS), Singapore Management University (SMU) and Nayang Technological University (NTU) /National Institute of Education (NIE) fielded teams in a series of friendlies against each other and Bucks RFC last weekend.


NTU showed great finesse by taking their opening game 4-1 against a slow-start NUS. SMU were also quick to assert their dominace in beating Bucks RFC 5-0.  NUS soon got their game going in the next match against SMU but were not able to match the pace of SMU and conceded their second match 2-4.  In the next game of the round robin matches, Bucks RFC's newbies out in 2 tries against NTU but were 4-2 down at the final whistle. NUS stepped up their game again to take the penultimate match 4-0 against Bucks RFC.


Both NTU and SMU entered the final match without each having lost any games but there was to be only one victor and finally whilst NTU defended with bravery, the benefit of having several players with a touch rugby background paid off for the SMU girls. SMU took the final game 6-1 against NTU/NIE.
