Our 1st XV.‘s first win of the season.

News_51_Intro

On Saturday, our first Team welcomed the Rugby Club of Walferdange for their second Bundesliga 2 game. The weather conditions were optimal for a good day of Rugby.

The team from Luxembourg started very strong and put a lot of pressure on the Dragons for the first 30 minutes of the game. The very aggressive defence of the Dragons allowed them to keep the RC Walferdange's score low. After 30 minutes, the trend started to change when the Dragons increased the pressure, applied their rugby structure, and scored two tries, allowing them to finish the first half with 12 points to 17 for their opponents.

From the beginning of the second half, the pressure from the Dragons continued to increase and the Düsseldorf team took the lead of the game with three additional tries, bringing their score to a total of 33 points with the conversions.

But as one says, the game only ends at the final whistle. In the last 10 minutes of the game, the RC Walferdange's players found a new motivation and started to find solutions which allowed them to score two tries, putting a lot of pressure on the Dragons. Despite this intense finish, the Dragons managed to win that tough but enjoyable game with a final score of 33 -27.

Congratulations to our try scorers, William O'Loughlin, Tristan Fillis, Michael Corbishley, Hugo Bailly and Sebastian Paassen and thumbs up to our Man of the Match: Linus Abs.

The game was followed by a very enjoyable third half in the Dragons' club house and a follow-up party at their sponsor: The Mc Laughlins Irish Pub.
