Uninspired win

for Caps

Few sparks of action

By LAIN SELLARS

Capilanos’ first XV beat
Vancouver Kats Rugby Club
17-9 last Saturday, but it was
not a win for rugby fans. The
greater part of the match
was a kicking contest,
highlighted with non-
productive running on both
sides.

The Caps would appear to
have problems utilizing their
backs. The ball is not
coming out quickly enough
resulting in negative cross
field running combined with
maccurate kicking. They are
placing too much of the
heavier offensive load on
their forwards.

As it was, all three tnes for
the locals were to come from
the forward pack. Lock
forward Bob Michael
equalled an early try by Kats’
Al Woods and with a penalty
kick by Jim Heaney the Caps
led at the half 7-6.

The second half held the
match’s few minutes of
decent rugby. Capilanos’

line and from the ensuing
maul ai set scrum. was
awarded to the defenders.
Taking the ball against the
head, the Caps had wing
forward Tony Scott touching
down for 4 points.

In the last stages of the
game fullback Bill Hen-
derson made an excellent
sideline kick under heavy
pressure. The Kats fielded
well, but through a com-
munication breakdown
threw the ball up for grabs.
Kirk picked up and passed
off to prop forward Gordon
Curry, who with some hard
running passed off to Scott,
who scored in the corner.
Michael made the convert
and the Capilanos clinched
the victory.

If the locals are to con-
tinue in their winning ways,
they will have to bank on
more than a few minutes of
good rugby per game to do
it.
