Turf City Field, Saturday, July 12, 2008 – The Republic Polytechnic Pixies thrashed Ngee Ann Polytechnic 6-0 in the Under-20 Touch Rugby “Youth for Touch” Final last weekend.

A close game was expected since both teams had excellent records all the way to the final, but what a surprise it was as RP raced into a 4-0 lead barely 10 minutes into the game. Playing a fast and furious game, NP just did not have any answer to the demolition job RP were handing out and they looked dazed and confused.

RP scored their fifth before NP gradually found their footing but the latter were still unable to get past the well-drilled RP defense. RP showed no signs of fatigue and continued pressing hard to shut out NP whenever NP had possession of the ball.

RP scored their sixth deep into the second half to confirm that they were worthy champions.
