1st XV: Ashgrove 19 - SPC 12
Great game. Pats up by try at half time. Ashgrove took lead with 12 mins to go and scored again with about 5 left.
2nd XV: Ashgrove 19 - SPC 7
5 - 7 at half time. Looked very close
1st XI (Soccer) - Ashgrove 0 - SPC 1 (SPC first ever win over Ashgrove)
Ashgrove's front 5 forwards carried the side to victory, ably assisted by some brilliant running from the 15, Campbell Mohr.
The front rowers were both fantastic in open play, with the Year 11 prop Tom Rafter even managing to outshine Liam Adams.
As happened against Padua, the MCA scrum demolished SPC's, so it would be a travesty if Jack Kelly made the AIC side over either of the MCA boys.
Having said that, Kelly was also great in the loose and really led his side from the front.
Ashgrove lost their very impressive 8, Mansell-Ward, after 10 minutes, just as happened in the Padua game, and with both flankers Brosnan and Wratten missing today it was a brave effort from the second string back rowers to break even with, maybe even shade, their SPC counterparts.
Although SPC lost a flanker early as well, which evened the scales a bit.
AIC contenders for MCA: 1,2,3, 8 and 15 (Kopana not up to it);
For SPC: 1,8, 12
