City 21-10 at half.
The second half was all the pack. With two scores by Eight man Mike Haase, one coming on a eightman pick up at center field and busting through the defense and out running the backs. Scrumhalf Andy Dujakovich also scored twice off good ball retention pick up from the base of the ruck and plopping over for the two scores. Final City 43-10.
The b-side match became a ten's game due to the lack of players on the Des Moines side, but it was still a opportunity for some young players to gain some experience. Rookie Del Hedgepath scored on the right wing for his first try of his career and a delightful Zulu after the match. Gary Boston got some good experience at scrumhalf and Dariel Edwards got in his first game on the wing and began the learning process. Good job by all.
