hahaha yep. How sad. set the record then lose your B div. oh well. At least there’s still some competition out there and it’s not overly dominated by one school.
yep i missed out by one year.
Anyway i wasn’t at the finals but i heard it was close. WOOHOO acsi got back the double:)
Hey ACSi,
for your information, it is the 2002 C-Div, not e 2003 C-Div and both the teams met again in 2004 B-Div… and that was e end of e ACSi reign at e B-Div, in just a matter of 2 years, the team that lost 56-0 won 10-7.
Hey acsi,
Thank you for reminding us how quickly the Saints have closed up the gap just in a matter of years…the Saints will continue to marching on..not forgetting our turning point in 2003:)
Cheers!!
hi acsi. Welcome back to Red Sports.
Did you play that game? Or just missed it by a year?
Hey just FYI, ACS biggest win at a final was 56-0 against saints:) that was um. 2003 C div.
Yes, i think going as far as we are now, it’s good that we remain on the ground and continue to excel with humility! Just in the last decade Saints ‘ve also lost to RI by that margin too.
RI continue to press on…your boys are still green with game, by the time they reach the B division their playing experience would have given them the equal ground to compete!
All of RI’s rugger are trained from secondary 1, whereas saints have theirs trained since young. -.-
