Hot off their win versus the Banshees, the Pigs headed down to Rochester to take on the Rouges. The weather was unseasonably warm, with temeratures nearing 85 degrees. A great day for rugby. The Pigs continuing to grow in numbers, showed up with 30 men ready to play some ball.
The match started with a quick try from Aaron and a penalty kick from Padre, giving the Pigs an early 1o-0 lead. Rochester stormed back and closed the gap to 10-7. With a lapse in defence the Rouges scored again to give them the lead 10-12. Determined not to be down at half Rubber took the ball across the try line to take the lead back 17-12. The Pigs had the first half lead, but were not happy with their play.
The second half the Pigs fitness took over. The Rouges were obviously winded, while the Pigs continued to push into their end. A second try by Rubber, a try by Zeth, and a penalty kick by Padre gave the Pigs a 34-20 win on the day.
The Bombers followed the Pigs with a win against Rochester B. Good play by everyone on the day.
