The 2012 Bay Street RFC season kicked off against an old foe on Saturday, the Orillia Dingos. There certainly was no love lost between these 2 sides as our seconds, led by Liam Boyle came out firing with great intensity providing nothing but clean ball for the backs which allowed George Gray to break the line at will during the first half on his way to scoring 2 tries. Alex Austin also touched down for 2 scores in that first half. The second half saw a number of substitutions for the BSRFC allowing a plethora of new Pigs some game action with the result being the exact same, an onslaught which allowed Jordan Fair and Mike Orlando to each touch down as well. Final score 44-10.

The first side captained by Andrew Buxton-Forman met a physical opposition from the start of the match and the cold rain didn’t do either team any favours in terms of handling errors. It didn’t take long however for Bay Street to find their stride and Geoff Bylund to touch down in the corner. The Bay Street scrum was a force to be reckoned with all match and I think this will definitely be a trend we see throughout the season. Trevor Anderson found himself on the score sheet with 2 tries displaying some excellent pace for a big man. The backline of the Pigs showed flashes of brilliance all match long capped off with Dave Burton putting Bucky into a 20 meter gap for a big run and eventual score. Final score 31-15.

Post match festivities took place at Kelsey’s in Orillia where Greg Hall was named man of the match for the seconds and Andrew Tyler for the firsts. Orillia was keen on having the men of the match shoot the boot and Geoff Campbell stepped up in place of Greg Hall (which I am sure he regrets) and drank a delicious boot of ale flavored with a bit of Jon Goode.

I also wanted to say congratulations to everybody who made their Bay Street RFC debut this weekend- Jordan Fair, George Gray, Arthur Sinclair, David Manii, Jesse Sargent, Jamie Le Huquet, Pete Buckthought, Chris Chapheau, Geoff Bylund and Pete Crozier. If I forgot anybody I apologize in advance.

We are off this week and will be holding a practice next Wednesday in the lead up to our match vs Lindsay on May 26^th. This match will be in Lindsay so please clear your schedules as we need everyone to be available for this pivotal game, this will show us how we stack up to the best competition in the league.

Oink!
