Acers vs. C-Towners
In the opening match, the Acers sent out a stern warning to the C-Towners by putting 5 tries past them. The Acers had bolstered their team with speedy Alumni Dexter and Joshua. They have had been the backbone of our IHG Touch Rugby team in the past and were here to teach the juniors a thing or two with their mazy runs and exquisite jinking. First, Choon Kiat opened the scoring by bursting through the left flank and short after him Dominic added a second by bursting through the right flank in almost the exact same manner. They had taken advantage of the opponents' inability to back off 5m in time in defence. Wayne then consecutively scored a third and fourth try due to poor defending by the opponents. Joshua opened up the defence with precise splitting passes and it was no surprise that the tries were scored. Finally Zip added a final fifth try by bursting down the flank single-handedly and his pace was just too much for the C-Towners to handle and they were left in his wake. Indeed the first match was a sign of more things to come.
Final Score: Acers 5 C-Towners 0.

Beekers got off to a great start by sppedy gonzales Altaff. He calmly burst across the entire defence and scored a try in the far corner. Not to be outdone, the incoming IHG Touch Rugby Captain Jason, sprinted through the right flank to equalise. Our Birthday Boy Sukee put the Beekers in the lead by finding the gap through the center and side-stepped 2 players on-route to scoring a try. It demonstrated sheer class and beauty as his footwork was just breathtaking. Speed Demon Yeow Lin then evaded the entire defence to equalise with a try. Altaff then put the Beekers in the lead once more by spotting the gap in the defence and charging through it at full speed. It was exhilarating to see an exhibition in speed!
