Ravens Strike Early, Ravens 34 – Caps 18: Report by Peter MacDonald

On a cool November day at Jericho the crowd were looking forward to a tight game as the Ravens were hosting a Caps team that had just knocked off the Lomas the previous weekend. And the Caps came out strongly in the early going pressuring the Ravens at their line but ultimately settling for 3 points from a penalty kick by fullback Mike Moloney. Unexpectedly though by the 20 minute mark the Ravens had put up four tries and had a 22-6 lead, a 16 point differential that remained at the final whistle.

Ravens Escape With the “W” Ravens 10 Lomas 5: Report by Peter MacDonald

On a miserably cold, rainy day at Jericho on a spongy, wet pitch two of the best teams in the competition played to a standstill with the rugby gods intervening near the end to favour the home team on the 50th anniversary weekend of the club. Each team scored a single try and set out an equally strong defence leaving the pundits no wiser as to which may be the better squad. Perhaps a playoff rematch in the spring will answer that question.

Ravens Step Up in Crunch Time Ravens 29 – UBC 10: Report by Peter MacDonald

On a cool early November day at UBC, with both teams missing some key players, it was anybody’s guess which team would prevail on the day. Initially it appeared that the Ravens would be that team as they easily mauled in two tries by the 20 minute mark and had an advantage in the sets and at the contact point. But UBC’s energy and pace of play brought them back into the game gradually and they were only down 12-3 at the half having dodged a bullet in the late stages when a UBC defender played the ball just outside his own try line while off his feet denying a likely try. He was yellow carded but the Ravens’ attack from the 5 metre line was stymied when the ball carrier Shelton was seen to make a second movement while off his feet after the tackle.
