PostHeaderIcon Mother Lode vs Jesuit Rugby Game (Frosh/Soph)

Mother Lode vs Jesuit Rugby Game for JV

Mother Lode finally got a chance to play Jesuit this year

After a long break of no practice, no games thanks to the weather and field shut downs, Mother Lode went out and played Jesuit.

First half Mother Lode was dominated and things were not looking too good for us.

Coaches made some adjustments to the game, and Mother Lode came out scoring in second half. After being down about 21 points plus, we ended up making the game a little competitive and came close with a loss by 11 points.

Final score for the game 36 Jesuit and 25 Mother Lode.

Here are some pictures from the game against Jesuit:

PostHeaderIcon Match Report – MotherLode JH vs. Sierra Foothills

Match Report – Mother Lode JH vs. Sierra Foothills

I bet there were a lot of bruised, exhausted but exhilarated boys after our battle with Sierra Foothills last night!  What a fantastic match and a performance that you should be very, very proud of.  And while we lost the match 36-15, let’s put a few things in perspective…
Looking back, we played Sierra Foothills in our first ever match at the Kick-Off Tournament.  In that match, lasting just 30 minutes, we lost 52-0.  But last night, in a match lasting a full 70 minutes, we scored 3 tries while having 6 scored against us. 2 of Sierra’s tries were scored in the last 5 minutes.  Let’s face it, at that point, on a very soggy field and with no reserves, MotherLode was nearing exhaustion point.  Sierra, on the other hand, was constantly replacing players with their 10 reserves.
In summary, an outstanding, gutsy performance against a highly-experienced team.  Our tackling in particular was aggressive and effective.  We’ve obviously made enormous improvements this season and have proven how competitive and passionate the MotherLode JH rugby team has become.
Special mentions: An impressive debut for our new recruit Gaston, congratulations to Dillon on his first try and  Finley with 2 tries on his return from injury, ‘Tackling MadMan’ awards to Josh, Brian, Weston, Finley, Jeff, Tommy and Alex, ‘Oh So Close!’ awards to Weston, William and Logan.
