Published November 1, 2009 Uncategorized 2 CommentsAll the critters came out to Grand Prarie this Saturday for a bit of Friendly Halloween rugby v. Arlington Maverick Rugby Club. At times, DARC looked scary good, at other times, the rugby was just plain frightening. In the end, the Knights closed out a comprehensive, 44-14 victory over its division rival.
DARC, playing without several 1XV regulars, continues to proove its roster depth. The backline kept the Mavericks under constant pressure with excellent tactical kicking and strike running from the centers with the forwards keeping the massive Arlington pack in check. Rookie, Scott Fleming, was especially strong on the flank. Russell Sanders, back in the familiar #10, was decisive with the boot, and backline counterparts, Wunsch and Ducray were equally impressive with the kick and chase. Kevin Harrell met his usual quota of carnage with some trademark tackling and rucking. Captain Drew McCure produced the highlight of the match with a stiff arm that literally upended the opposing hooker. The DARC lineout again failed to impress, largely a moot issue on the day, but something that should be addressed in the coming weeks.
1. Rooney, 2. Juarez, 3.Almond, 4. Cavazos, 5. Hudson (Hale 50), 6. Saif, 7. Fleming, 8. McCure, 9. Buchanan, 10. Sanders, 11. Smith, (Haest 40), 12. Harrell, 13. He who shall not be named…referred to himself simply as ‘Super League’ 14. Ducray, 15. Wunsch
