RC Zug vs RC Solothurn


Final Score: RC Zug 19 – RC Solothurn 19

Following on from our defeat against Solothurn last week, we knew that the game would be hard, but winnable. The weather was good with some nice sun in the second half.

The game began with Solothurn pushing hard and opening up the points with a try. It was not long before we responded with a try of our own which lifted the spirits of the team.

Our scrums & lineouts were dominate throughout the match but they were not as good as last week. This is something we will focus more on at training.

At halftime we were in the lead, but the game was by no means over. We made a couple of substitutions and tried to keep our play tight. A couple more trys followed from both teams making the match quite closely contested.

In the last moments of the game the score was 19-14, and we lost our focus which resulted in a late try from Solothurn.
In the end the match finished 19-19, but credit where credit is due, Solothurn never gave up and fought till the very end.

After the match Solothurn joined us for a BBQ and beers at our club pub. When they went home we started to celebrate our first home match with the usual pitchers of the clubs special drink we call ‘Fizzy Bubbler’. Drunk of the night award goes to Alex.


Man of the Match: Mario

Other notable performances from: Joel, Seb (Vernon), Alex, Jean & Dani.

Try scorers: Elio, Raphael (Bourda), Joel & Alex.


We would like to thank Solothurn for coming and wish them all the best for the rest of their season. We look forward to seeing them next year at the summer tournaments.
