Masters Retain Trophy With Flowing Rugby

The template for the Army Masters convincing 59-5 victory over the Navy Mariners was set in the first ten minutes. In those early exchanges the pre match predictions of a classic and close encounter had been dashed on the rocks as the Mariners Inter Service title chances receded faster than an ebbing tide.

Within the first five minutes the Masters took the lead with a well worked try based on quick ball to the backs. From the restart the Mariners looked to hit straight back. They pummelled the Masters' line putting the Army side under huge pressure with their rolling maul. But the ball was spilled, Masters' scrumhalf Gareth Slade-Jones sniffed half an opening deep in his own 22m area and with Karneli Kim-Vuadreu, Ratu Naivalu, Vasa Bai and Unaia Balekinasiga all combining, the ball swept 70m down field for a second Army try and 14-0 lead.

Army Women Maintain Unbeaten Record

Army cheers from the neighbouring pitch spurred the Army Women on, with Army fullback Fionidi Parker scoring the opening try. It was quickly followed by a second, this time from prop Becky Wilson which Lou Dodd converted to extend the Army lead to 12-0.

Four further tries before half time finished the game as a contest. Both centres, Lou Dodd and Jade Mullen, crossed for tries followed by a try for scrumhalf Nancy Kuva and the final try before the break from flanker Heidi Silcox. With Lou Dodd adding 3 more conversions the Army reached the half time break leading 38-0. The Navy had battled but as soon as they were unable to pressure the Army and force them back inside, the pace out wide of the Army backs was proving decisive.

Royal Air Force Seek Treble Celebration

When Royal Air Force captain, Stu Philpott, was driven over for the winning score against the Army he knew that the job was only half done. A one point winning score over the Army was no different than the situation they were in two years ago.

Then they travelled to Portsmouth in anticipation of retaining their Inter Service title only to win the battle but lose the war as three Jon Humphrey penalties dashed their hopes and the Navy claimed a one point win of their own before drawing with the Army to win their first IS title since 2010. Philpott will be determined not to repeat the mistake and knows that a RAF victory at the Stoop on Friday, will secure the Inter Service title and bring a third RAF celebration during the month of April.
