Tigers Rugby met division foe Northside Vikings in an afternoon of terrific rugby.
The Tigers struck first when Pomona High School Sophomore Nick Allen broke a long run for a try. Fellow Pomona student, Charles Martinez’ successful drop kick gave the Tigers a 7-0 lead.
With the wind at their backs, Senior Captain Travis McKee popped the ball up to the Vikings’ goal posts, covered his own kick and fed the ball to Charles Martinez ,who scored a tumbling, head over heels, try.
Not to be disuaded, the Vikings came roaring back with a try of their own for a 12-7 halftime score.
The first score of the second half came after another long run. This time by Justin Thunell, who returned a grub kick up the sideline, set the ruck, and allowed Senior Captain Markus Harvey to rumble in for the try.
The Vikings scored a quick follow up try of their own to make the score 17-12.
As is their custom, the Vikings selected an opponent’s Man of The Match. This years recipient is Travis McKee for his outstanding 8-Man play.
