The Pigs opened the Spring 2002 season with a victory on the road at Rochester. After just 2 outdoor practices, things were a little out of sync, and the Pigs got off to a bit of a slow start, as sloppy handling and some bad penalties killed off a number of promising attacks. We finally broke through, however, with center Scott Colby scoring on a long run up the middle of the pitch. Jason Naber’s conversion was successful for a 7-0 lead, which ended up as the half time score.
The second half saw slightly fewer bad penalties, and some better flow with the ball. This led to tries from center Will Bryant and wing Jamie Calvert. Naber converted both tries and added a penalty to make the score 24-0 in favor of the Pigs. Rochester made a few forays into the Pigs half, but were unable to break through and get on the board, and the final score stood at 24-0.
In the end, it was a nice day for rugby, and an excellent start to our spring season.
