The 2nd annual J.M.A. Armstrong High School spring rugby tournament kicked off last night.

HTHS After The Opening Win

Game started out with JMA coming out strong and Sara B scoring on a turn over in the first 3 mins of the game. Once HTHS refocused and started to play their game, they were able to spend much of the rest of the game in JMA’s end. In the second half HTHS inside centre Morgan Porter scored after slipping through the backs to tie it up. Next, scrum half Maddie MacDonald, after stealing a loose ball, scored to pull ahead. On the final play of the game, with a pick from the back of a ruck, flanker Jordyn Thebeau scored in the corner to make the final 15- 5. JMA held tough with hard tackling in the forwards to hold HTHS off the board until approximately 3/4 of the game. JMA’s pack were strong in the scrums and good form in the line outs.
