Knoxville Rugby Football Club

Nashville edges Knoxville, 26-25

October 15, 2008

Knoxville played Nashville on Sat 10/04, losing 25-26. The day was rather warm with Nashville

playing 1st against UT (33-32 win), resting during a Knoxville B/UT B match-up, and then a match against Knoxville. Play started fortunate for the Possums as the Knoxville backs scored a try within the first few minutes. Nashville kept pace though, taking advantage of penalty plays by converting numerous kicks.

Knoxville scored the last try with 2 minutes remaining. Solid defensive pressure by Nashville and lackluster possession by Knoxville resulted in yet another penalty kick with no time left on the clock. Nashville’s kicker (who had performed accurately all day) happened to miss this one and it seemd Knoxville would win. However, a Knoxville mistake allowed Nashville a re-kick which was made and the game ended with Nashville victorious.

Knoxville would like to thank Nashville and UT for the good day of rugby.
