TOUGH START TO CANTABRIAN CAMPAIGN
2018
The historically challenging game against the Otago Sassenachs lived up to expectations with a tight and fiercely contested game at Burnside Park on Saturday afternoon. While the Cantabrians came out on top at the end 26-22 it certainly wasn't a foregone conclusion right up until the final whistle. In what was an even and well contested game that show cased some very good young talent from both teams a good crowd appreciated the spirit and energy on display. We need to remember that this was the first outing for our players so this made the victory perhaps even more memorable.
Cantabrians opened the scoring but then let the Sassenachs in shortly after and with the conversation they led for the first part of the game. The game was one where the Cantabrians would score and then almost immediately the Sassenachs would hit back. The second half was mostly played in the Cantabrians half defending a persistent and aggressive Otago side. Full credit to our team on their defense repelling each wave of attach and somehow managing to keep them at bay. There was plenty of relief at the final whistle from the players and the spectators.
It was special to have both Tiny Hill and Fred Daniels (Sassenachs Life Member) present at the end to present the Tiny Hill Trophy and have it locked away for another year. We would also like to thank the Burnside Rugby Club for their hospitality on the day on what was a busy day for them.
