The Plymouth state men's rugby team played in the New Hampshire cup last Saturday (8th Sept 07). The A side lost to Dartmouth 18-14 in the first game with Chris Toftee scoring two tries and Rob Howes converting both kicks. Even though we lost, it was a very close game and Div 3 Plymouth held their own very well against div 1 Dartmouth.
The B side played a great game against St. Anselm's A side. Even though The Norsemen lost we were very proud of the way all of our new players played.
The B's then played again against Franklin Pierce's A side. Plymouth played fantastic only losing by one try. Matt Wood and Russell scoring their first tries. The B side players of the tournament were Russell, Colin, Matt Wood, Alex Yeaw and first time player Kenny.
The A Side played Keene State in the next match and beat them 9 tries to zero. Nate fox, Jeremy Lagerval, and Rob Howes scored 2 tries each, Jim Brady scored one try and Sam Hill and Bill Polaski scored their first A side tries also. I forget how many conversions were made i think about 5, 4 by Rob Howes and 1 by Bill Polaski.
All in all a great tournament for the Norsemen, we now have until the 22nd of September to prepare for our first game at home against Nichols College at 1pm.

is A side / B side like 1st and 2nd string?
I'm looking forward to learning more about rugby and following the season. If I hadn't been on the ski team my freshman year here I was thinking about trying rugby.
I'm frail like a little girl, but im quick and have a high tolerance for pain.
in the future think about splitting that amount of info into a few posts to break things out and make it a bit easier to read. maybe a post for A side and a separate post for B side? That will start to organize the site and gives the user the option of reading specific things and ignoring others if they want.
oh yeah by the way I'm your teacher if you couldn't tell, I forgot to sign that comment.
