Rugby match dominated by forwards

By IAN SELLARS

The Red Lions, after so long dominating the
Vancouver Rugby Union Second Division have at
last taken their rightful place by returning this
year to the First Division of. the Union. But their
place was not on the winners’ podium last
Saturday as the Capilano First Division beat the

Lions by a score of 17-12.

Red Lions scrum has long
been First Division cahbre
for many years but it came
up short against the tighter
more aggressive eight of the
Captlanos. who had to carry
the heavier rugby load this
day

Both halfs appeared to
have no faith in thei
respective backs as the game
was totally dominated by
forward play) The excuses ol
poor conditions and
aggressive flanker play do
not stand up. as Vancouver
docs capertence a climatic

change at this me of year
and the tactics of opposing
flankers ts highly unlikely to
change The Capilano backs
were not used this day unless
they took the initiative upon
themselves

Cap’s winger Rick Pamlou
successfully blocked a Red
Laon's «learning kick deep in
the Lions end and beat the
defenders in a foot-race to
the loose ball to score the
farst try of the match

It was Pimlott again who
making a shoestring catch of
6 high lobbed ball from lock

forward Bob Michael, beat
his opposing number to
touch down 1n the Red Lions
end Jim Heancy made the
convert and the Caps looked
in charge of the day's action
leading 100

The Capilanos proceeded

to draw foolish penalties and
Laon kicker Bobby Lachlan
was good on two for sta
points Heancy 3 answered
with one of bis own and the
teams changed ends with the
score 13-6

This started a general rout
and a complete breakdown
of the Capilano pressure As
in sO Many routs it would
only end in defeat The Red
Lions, gaining momentum
on the retreating Caps, were
able to score, as scrum half
Fred Lachlan went over for
the four points The convert
was good by Tom Lachlan,
brother Fred and Bobby
making it a Lachlan day and
bringing the score to within
one point, 1} 12

The Capilano forwards
went back into the fray
hoowing the job they had to
do and took the attack to the
Red lions Continually
pressunng the Laons’ line
and winning most of the ball
became thetr sole oe
cupation With this constant
pressure it was inevitable the
Capilanos would score or
bold the Lions in thea own
end until the final whistle
