Possums over Chattanooga 26-3

February 14, 2010

On a cold February morning Knox county school bus # 127 departed from Cool Beans en route to Chattanooga, TN, with a Possum team anxious for their first rugby action of the spring (yes, it’s February but the South Rugby Union considers this spring) matrix season. The match started off slow and only having one outdoor practice session due the cold/rainy/snowy weather showed as there were several unforced Possum errors and miscommunications. However (more…)

KRFC 22 – Chatt 21

September 20, 2009

KRFC v Chattanooga Fall 2009 043b

Sept 19- The expected rain held off Saturday and the sun actually was out for a while, lending an added dimension of heat and humidity to the first match of the fall season for the Possums.

Taking on long time foe Chattanooga for the third time this calendar year, the Possums came out with a bit of rust to knock off for sure.  It took the first ten minutes of the opening half to finally get on the board.  Between knock ons on balls being “held up” in goal all day the Possums left quite a few try’s on the field.

With lots of hard earned line breaks and even harder tackles and scrappy rucks the first half ended with a 10 point lead for the home team.   As it was a non Matrix match there were lots of subs coming of the bench for the Possums in this first hit out.  Quite a few playing their first match for KRFC.   Chattanooga held tight and quickly scored two tries of their own with conversions to get the score to 14-15.  After a very close help up in goal call for the Possums resulted in a 95m Chatt. break to take the lead 21-15.  The Possums answered the call with little time left by a try and conversion to take the lead 22-21.  It was a hard fought match with both sides showing promise of attacking ability.

The Possums head West to the Capital to take on Nashville A&B sides Saturday Sept 26.

KRFC over Chattanooga 29-12

February 28, 2009

pic_00171The boys in Grey(-ish brown) prevailed over a determined Chattanooga side on Saturday in the ugliest of conditions. The game started slow as both teams tried to adjust to the mud. Knoxville scored first when a 5-m scrum was stolen and touched down. Another Knoxville try in transition play brought the score to 12-0.

If there was any question whether or not Chattanooga would break, it was certainly answered in the next 6 minutes as the home team scored twice in open play bringing the game to a tie. (more…)
