North Jersey was a bit late but no worries and shy of a good portion of their starting 15. Similiar to New London’s travel down to NYC to play in the fall. However, players showed up and were ready go. The first half saw a tight match with play moving around. North Jersey wanted to keep in close and New London wanted to use its backs. Very contrasting styles. However, mounting injuries and fatigue caught up with North Jersey and in the second half New London created few overloads out wide and took control of the match.
Overall, well played. |

NLC Vs. North Jersey 4/24/10 – Match Report
Sunday, April 25th, 2010Spring 2010 NLC Match Update 1
Sunday, April 18th, 2010It’s been a great start for NLC rugby this spring.
Here are the match reports from the first two matches:
| New London County (1st XV) vs. Newport (No Visitor Team provided) 10 April 2010 Location: Clark Lane Middle school: 105 Clark Lane, Waterford CT, 06385 |
| SCORE: New London County: 15 Newport: 21 |
| First match of the season for all invoved. Beautiful windy day fo rugby. Hard-fought match featuring a DII squad and a DIII squad which can compete at DII level. I must admit that the referee was quite rusty and lacked sufficient pace to the breakdown which understandingly frustrated the players. Each team traded penalty kicks early on, but New London scored the lone converted try of the first half and lead 10-6 after 40min. Newport dominated the second half, scoring 15 points to NLC’s 5. |

| New London County (1st XV) vs. Charles River (Charles River) 17 April 2010 Location: Clark Lane Middle School: 105 Clark Lane, Waterford CT, 06385 |
| SCORE: New London County: 22 Charles River: 8 |
| Play was dominated by the forwards, with tries coming on the occasions the ball was moved to the backs. Multiple mauls occurred, and the ball was moved for both sides by a heavy ground and pound game style. Kicking was apparent, but while intended strategically usually led to kicking matches with play resuming where the initial kick occurred.A good game, with both teams enjoying themselves and representing themselves and rugby well. |
