Can Am 7s Tournament Report.
Can Ams were fun! 8 men showed up to battle and battle we did. We had no photographer, but this time we took notes to report here:
The first match was against Chilliwack Crusaders. Some highlights were Joseph winning 3 scrums that were Chilliwack's puts as well as keeping possesion off all of ours. George had a excellent kick that placed the ball right in the center in front of the uprights. Xave and Jeremy chased with a Crusader in front trying to get there first. Unfortunately for him he gave in to pressure and rushed his kick. The ball bounced off the uprights back at him and he kicked again. The ball only bobbled away and Jeremy was able to chase and touch it down for his first try ever. Kirk had a try and a conversion, Brodie tried twice and convered his as well. Xave had a great totally forward freak-out pass that everyone had a laugh about. Excellent Touch Judging by Jerry Gent.
Final score: Chilliwack-5; Fat Cocks-26
Our second match was scheduled to be against Division 3 rivals OPSU from Bremerton. Unfortunatly only 2 of their team showed up to the tournament. We played against some of the same Chilliwack players as well as a Chuckanut B and a few others. We continued to play well, winning scrums and handling their offense with tempered defence. They scored twice on us, converting both times, but we answered with the same scoring as the previous match; Brodie 2, Kirk 1 both converting and Jeremy had a breakaway for another try, but he can't drop-kick for shit so he did not convert despite trying in the exact center of the uprights. Some anti-highlights were Brian stiff-arming a 14 year-old (ok, he was 19) and Jeremy breaking away again, getting to the center again, and dropping the ball for a knock-on instead of a try...much to the delight of the beer garden right in front of him. More Excellent Touch Judging by Jerry Gent.
Final Score: Whores-14; Fat Cocks-26
The final match was versus the Huna Hogs, a team that apparently requires their members to be old and fat. But they also have played a lot of rugby and don't mess around. In a match off of mauls, stiff arms and tries (all by them) The Fat Cocks walked away a bit bruised and worked, but it was a fun match. Thank God for Ray showing up for the final match, and Conrad coming in for Jeremy they were the only ones with the bulk to even start to go up against the chubby bastards, even then they looked small next to them. Brian, Jeremy and Kirk got stiffed and all got tackled and smooshed. In one play Brodie was lifted for a line out and an old fat dude grabbed him in the air, dragged him down and held on. Brodie decided to hang on too and they both just kinda stayed there for a bit struggling to get up. The ref seemed to never called any of these wonderful fouls...but what are you gunna do? Jerry's Touch Judging this game sucked, as seen in the results...
Final Score: Huna Hogs-7 tons; Fat Cocks-1,400 lbs
So Fat Cocks took 2nd in the Division 3 bracket of the tourney, with the best performance yet.
