FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS: Possums win 29-3

October 8, 2009

Friday October 9th: The Huntington Rugby Club rolled into town for a rare Night match under the lights.  Schumpert Park hosted a double-header of rugby action that saw UT take on UNC Greensboro with an 7PM kickoff. Tornado Watch and driving rain held up the first match due to three stoppages from lightning strikes.  The Possums finally got to take the pitch close to 9:30pm in a light rain.  The new fields at Schumpert Park held up extremely well for there to have been quite a few inches of rain to fall prior to and an earlier match to be played.  The waterproof rugby ball unfortunately has still not been developed, which of course means knock-ons were aplenty on the night, resulting in lots of scrums.
