Boston RFC had the best possible start to the game against the Boston Irish Wolfhounds, converting turning an early turnover into seven points courtesy of some nice finishing by winger Atao Ripley. Boston’s speedy wingers were again involved shortly after, converting another long run into seven more points.  Just fifteen minutes into the game, Boston was in control 14-0.

To the Wolfhounds’ credit, the players responded with a sustained period of pressure in the Boston 22, but stout defense and a stronger Boston scrum limited the home team to three missed penalty attempts and the halftime score was 17-0 to the visitors.

The second half was better for the Wolfhounds, with strong running from Sean Pike, Steven Kelly and Tom Walsh especially making hard yards, scoring two converted tries to finely balance the game at 17-14. Both sides were unable to capitalize on scoring opportunities, Boston twice stopped inches short of the try line, and the Wolfhounds committing some untimely penalties.

Finally Boston’s Niko Ratunaitavuki managed to squeeze over in the corner for a crucial score.  Although he didn’t convert, he soon after hit a penalty that put the game out of reach at 25-14.

Wolfhounds coach Fergal Hehir said “We are disappointed, we could have been a lot closer, we made silly mistakes, turned over the ball and in fairness if you give Boston the breakaway ball like that in the open field they are very dangerous and they made us pay…. We didn’t fall off in the second half, and with Steven Kelly at eight and Tom Walsh at 12 could have dragged us back into it, got a couple of tries but we were too far behind to catch them”.

Boston coach reflected on the bonus point win: “a good day, though a little disappointed after being up 17-0 at the half. It was always going to be a tough day and I’m proud of the way the boys came back at the end.  We had a go-to-sleep time at the start of the second half which was disappointing, but credit to the Wolfhounds who played hard the whole time and they were certainly a worthy opponent playing pretty well”.

In the other local Division 1 game in New England, Mystic River defeated Middlesex 38-29, after leading 24-17 at the half. Finally in New York, Old Blue proved much too strong for White Plains, winning 43-12.
