UBCOB Ravens – November 2024
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.
