Final
Score: RC Nyon 58 – RC Zug 5
Our last encounter with Nyon was very close
(15-12) and to quote their trainer ‘Zug
gave us a scare’. We knew the second time round that they would be more
prepared for the match today, so that they could maintain their unbeaten record
this season. The weather was good for the actual game, but it did rain briefly
while we were warming up.
With moral high the game started with Nyon
pushing hard from the gecko and before long they had scored two trys. We were
not broken yet though. Nyon did keep the pressure on and continued to rack up
the points. Then just before half time a great try from Raphael (Bourda) gave
us a glimmer of hope.
Even though Nyon had a lot more weight in
the scrums, we kept our binding tight which resulted in winning a lot of balls.
The lineouts were harder, but Alois held his own and made lots of
interceptions.
The second half saw more trys from Nyon but
far less than the first half. There were a couple of very close opportunities for
us to get some more points. Including two long periods spent within a few of
meters of the Nyon try line, but credit where credit is due, Nyon held up their
defence.
In summary a disappointing result but we
will learn from our mistakes and plan to concentrate this week in training on
our last match against Ticino.
Notable performances from: Alois, Raphael
(Bourda), Roman, Simon (The Beast), Raphael (Meier), Seb (Varey) and Dani.
Man of the match: Goran (who needs to
practice his beer drinking skills)
After the match (as it was their last game
of the season) Nyon put on a special BBQ and plied us with copious amounts of
beer and wine. 
One of players from Nyon was retiring from
the club, so we all gathered around for ten minutes of the strangest (but
amusing) singing from the Nyon squad.
We would like to thank Nyon for hosting the
match and very much look forward to seeing them at the Neuchâtel tournament in
the summer.
