A tale of two halves

Beren — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 08:50:38 +0000

A spirited RC CMSG took to the field in Yverdon on Saturday looking for a first away win of the season. Despite leading 17-3 after 30 minutes of breathtakingly good rugby, and scoring two tries through Gareth Maguire and Haitem El-Blidi, we struggled against a settled Yverdon side and went in leading 17-10 at the break. Yverdon came out guns blazing and suffocated our offence, scoring a number of tries and winning 34-17. Next up is Genève PLO at home on the 6^th of November, usually a passionate affair.

RC CMSG QUALIFIES FOR THE LNA PLAY-OFFS!

On sunday, RC CMSG went to Hermance RRC looking to cement a place in the LNA playoffs. A sprited side that wasn’t dampened by the very wet weather…

The team started well, and scored first, but Hermance came back with a converted try to lead 7-3 at the break. In the second half, superb handling by the CERN backs in these dire conditions finally lead to a try, converted from the touchline. Hermance came back to 10-10, before CMSG again took the lead 5 minutes from time with another penalty. A final surge by the Hermance forwards lead to a last minute penalty for them, tying up the final score at 13-13.

The second teams also drew 7-7 ending both the day’s games in a stalemate.
A one point Zurich win over Yverdon means that RC CMSG will play Genève PLO away in the first round of the playoffs on the 5th of June. (Mark the date!)

The second team’s last home game of the season will take place this saturday 8th of May at 3pm v ARYA (Alpine Rugby Yoga Association).

The first team will play away in Avusy in the cup next saturday (15th May @ 3pm).

First win in Zurich for 18 years!

Beren — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 10:33:33 +0000

RC CMSG pulled off a legendary 22-14 win this weekend in Zürich. The club had not won there for 18 years!

Two first half Emmanuel Florstan tries saw RC CMSG on their way to win at the Allmend, along with a Rodrigo Sanchez Panizza’s second half score.

The game started with Zurich’s battling forwards taking the pressure right to the CMSG line, and plowing over for a third minute try. RC CMSG regrouped, and worked their way upfield for Florestan’s first score in the corner, quickly followed by another.

An even and good spirited game, the second half saw an interception by winger Mikael Cadet, who offloaded 10m before the line to scrum half Fabien Vaudant, who in turn flicked it to Sanchez Panizza who scored under the posts.

The game was marked by excellent handling on behalf of the CMSG backs, Marc Escudié at 10 leading the boat, with centres Gabe Wills and Marco Bambace showing off their excellent skills at pace.

Zurich’s replying try came all too late, and CMSG came away smiling from this game, having ensure their place in Switzerland’s top flight!

Now on to Hermance on sunday 2nd of May for the final league game. Kick off at 2pm.

In the weekends other game, RC CMSG II went to Palézieux to take on RC Haute-Broye, a young and skilful team. A strong show by RC CMSG forwards, and two tries by prop Ali Day meant that CMSG II came away high and dry 22-8, and a bonus point in the bag!
