The second game of the on-going
Friends of Rugby Lagos rugby league, the Police Rugby Team made good their
threat to arrest the good run of Lagos Rugby Football Club as they successfully
piped Lagos Rugby Football Club by 12 points to 10 points in a nail biting
grilling encounter at the main bowl of the national stadium, surulere, Lagos.
The rugby encounter was well
balanced as the Police Rugby team drew the first blood with a wonderful flying
Try by Habeeb Issiaka, which was Converted by sure footed Sulymon Oyebola, this
was immediately countered by Lagos Rugby Football Club John Kura just four
minutes.
Lagos Rugby team Solomon Cokery made
it two for his team on the far corner of the post which could not be Converted.
Some eleven minutes after, the Emmanuel Ayewa equalized for the Police tea, and
a perfect Convertion from Yahaya Samson wrapped up the high tempered &
entertaining rugby encounter with a slim victory and second win in a row to the
Police Rugby machine. This match was adjudged the star match of the day by fans
& match officials.
In the first match of the day a hard
fighting Young Lions Rugby FC went down to a more determined new comers to the
Lagos Rugby League who threatened their opponents with the indigenous “Haka” by
22 points to nil.
Meanwhile, Defending champions
Cowrie Rugby Football Club made good their promise to keep a 100% record in the
“Friends of Rugby” organized 2012 Lagos Rugby Union League when they mauled the
AJ City boys – Gosar Rugby Football Club by 45 points to 7 points.
