Tigers finish 1-1 in Spring Fling Tournament
By Toxic M3 | March 9, 2008
On Saturday, the Tigers RFC (Rugby Football Club) participated in the annual Spring Fling Tournament. The Spring Fling consists of about 12 different teams from all over the state of Colorado. The Tigers played two games, the first being against Highlands Ranch RFC. It was close match with the first half of the game scoreless, but two minutes into the second half, Highlands Ranch came knocking with a try. The Tigers answered back with a 45 yard try from Quincy Anderson in the remaining three minutes of the second half. Thanks to a successful field goal from Joseph Gonzales, the Tigers won the game seven points to Highlands Ranch RFC’s five.
The Tigers were not as fortunate in their second game (designated to be a B side match earlier that morning) against Cherry Creek. The Tigers were only able to put in one try by the end of the first half and attempted to balance the situation in favor of their first year players by sprinkling in some upperclassmen in the second half. The Tigers were unable to secure another win, but the Spring Fling B side match was a success overall in garnering experience for the team’s new players.

What is a B side match?
March 10th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
In Tigers Rugby RFC, there is an A side and a B side. Typically, an A side match is played by players with a starting position and a B side match is aimed at the substitutes (usually to gain experience for new players).
Hope that helps. : )
