Dunstan High School claimed a 52-38 win over St. Kevin's College in their Southern Wide Real Esate 1st XV competition match today.
Coach Tom Blaikie said that the Dunstan gameplan was always to play a fast, wide game and run the big St. Kevin's forward pack off their feet. It worked too, he remarked, as St. Kevin's struggled to keep up and the Dunstan backline ran in all of their tries. He also praised the forward pack, which he said worked hard all game to get the backs quality ball.
St. Kevin's did make use of their bigger players though, scoring their tries through their big forwards running over the top of the Dunstan defenders close to the line.
