Griffins fail to perform as both teams suffer defeat

January 14th, 2012 


After a very successful start to the 2011/12 season, the Griffins First XV traveled to Shreveport expecting a competitive but winnable game. Frisco may have had a much stronger team on paper but rugby is an unpredictable sport at times and on Saturday, that fact worked against the Griffins who came out a distant second. 

From the first whistle, it was apparent that the Griffins were not prepared for the game and seemed deflated very early on. Despite some strong line breaks, the consistent pressure in the set piece hindered any hopes of an even contest and Shreveport were clearly the stronger team on the day. Final Score Shreveport 38 - 5 Frisco. The club's management will be looking to the next two weeks to fix the issues at hand before taking Bay Area in Frisco on January 28th. 

Back in Frisco, the Griffins Development squad took on archrivals, Denton Rugby in what is always a great contest.
