There has been a lot of progress since my last post. The team now has a 60 man roster, and WPI (Worchester Polytechnical Institute) forfeited their whole season. What this means is we already have a win on our season, but it is only a 7-0 win so that could screw us over in the league standings in the long run.
We played Nichols college in the first game of our regular season. The Norsemen underestimated Nichols, and found themselves defending their own try line early in the game. But a quick penalty taken by Rob Howes changed the game around, with Rob scoring PSU's first try. Later in the first half Tommy Lyle trucked through the defense to lengthen the Norsemen's lead.
The second half started off with PSU gaining constant yards on Nichols which eventually lead to a textbook try scored by Jim Brady, with the help of the quick hands of Nate Fox and Chris Toftee. The game ended 15-3 in favor of Plymouth. A hard fought first win.
The B*side played 3 twenty minute periods (unlike the usual 2 forty minutes halves). I do not remember the score, but it was a very close game, with some of our younger players stepping up and playing some great Rugby.
All-in-all a great week for the Norsemen we are now preparing for the unknown Williams College away saturday 29th of sept.
