The St. Louis Bombers opened the Spring season with the DIII side taking on local rival St. Louis Hornets last Saturday in Forest Park.
The first half was a battle back and forth as the Bombers would take the lead at half with a try and conversion from Eric Davidson.
At the 55′ minute mark the Bombers would score their second try by Ryan McDonald, conversion made by Davidson and take 14-0 lead but the Hornets responded back with their own try and conversion cutting the lead in half 14-7 at the 60′ minute mark.
The Bombers would go to score three more tries by Tony Luzecky, Ngomba Arrey, and a kick chase by Scott Hanify. Eric Davidson would convert two of the three tries sealing the Bombers win 33 to 7 over the Hornets.
“Definitely satisfied with the out come of the play“, Bombers Head Coach John Watson said.
“The underlying and important aspect of the match is that we had 3 guys play in their first rugby match ever and 8 total players wear the Fleur-de lis for the first time in 15’s.” Watson continued, “Exciting building block for the future.”
The team is back at this weekend as the Colombia Outlaws travel in for the second league match of the season. That game is set for a 1PM kick-off time in Forest Park.
