In the League Rugby's Better's reserves beat the league leader 4-1 at home. Foul play by MC Davies meant the opposition played 70 minutes minus an injured AMC, though Davies earned a 2nd yellow in the 65th minute. The result leaves Rugby's Better 2nd on the table, one point behind the leader. We have beaten him twice this season, just need someone else to hold him to a draw (and keep winning ourselves). The Treble remains a possibility.
The match was also notable for AML/AMC Nick Delany's 99th club goal, posted in the 2nd minute. Delany topped the League goal scorer charts in the past 2 seasons, but has been struggling in the "nervous 90s" with just 9 goals in 16 appearances this season.
