Eastern Rhinos 18 Army Veterians 26.
The Eastern Rhinos entertained the Army Veterans
Rugby League side at Colchester Rugby club on Wednesday night in
what turned out to be a very close competitive
game.
Before the kick off both sides and spectators
observed a minutes silence in memory of Army Rugby League player
Sargent David Monkhouse of the Royal Dragoon Gaurds who was killed
last week in Afghanistan.
The large crowd was entertained by some fast
physical rugby in a very tight first half that saw the Army Vets
build a 16 - 4 point lead and with both sides fielding large squads
the pace of the game didn't drop in the second half. The Rhinos
used the match to give game time to some of the less experianced
players and the introduction of several of the regular first team
players evened up the game in the second half with the Army
Veterans finishing as the 26 - 18 victors.
