This was a rematch of last years Plate Championship in the High School State Finals where the Springboks took the victory. This year, however, Brentwood would avenge their loss in strong fashion.
Both teams tried to establish a pattern in the beginning minutes, but play went back and forth. Eventually, the Brumbies pack worked nice ball movement in the corner and Alex Goff scored the first try. Conversion missed, 5-0. Following more good movement by the forwards, Brentwood spun the ball with to their backs and Travis Goodwin scored a long try in the corner. Conversion missed, 10-0. Two more tries followed by the pack and the Brumbies went into the half 20-0.
Play resumed in the second half with no team establishing dominance. However, the Brentwood backs, who looked strong throughout the night, seemed to eventually find a rhythm and Layne Meltzer scored after a thrilling pop kick and run to make it 25-0. The Springboks continued to battle tough but could not maintain possession. They constantly put the Brentwood team under pressure, but were unable to finish with any points. Time expired and the A side Brumbies registered their third straight shutout win.

The Brentwood Brumbies rugby team traveled to Murfreesboro this past weekend to play an out of division opponent, Riverdale. The Brumbies were looking to carry on the momentum from their last win while improve on their general play. From the beginning, the A side was intent on keeping possession and go forward with the ball. As a result, both the forward pack and the backs got involved in the scoring. First, the forwards scored after several phase ball, 5-0. Then, after nice movement on the weak side inside the 20, Fardin Mohammadi ran in a try and dotted down between the posts, 12-0. Brentwood continued to put on the pressure and was awarded a penalty 10 meters out. Alex Goff soon took advantage and bulled his way through after several phases to go up 19-0 and end the first half.
The second half saw Riverdale refuse to go away quietly. They held possession for most of the period but could not punch in a try. The Brumbies put themselves in more trouble by having a player put in the sin bin for not wrapping in the tackle. And, as with the last game, discipline began to decline and Brentwood gave up many more stupid penalties. However, in the end, Brentwood’s defense held steady and refused to let their opponents score. Final 19-0.
Man of the Match : Alex Goff, for his try and hard charging runs.
Most Improved Player : Mike Martinez, for playing his first full A side game at scrum half and leading traffic.

The 2010 Brentwood Boys Rugby season started this past Friday when they faced their cross town rivals Franklin. Brentwood got on the board first with a try in the corner after their wing, Layne Meltzer, broke several tackles for the score, 5-0. Play went back and forth but it was Brentwood who had many chances to score. In fact they had three opportunities inside their five meter line only to come away empty.
The second half saw Brentwood score two more times. One involved nice movement through the pack and another score by Meltzer, at the wing, 15-0. Consequently, Franklin would not go away quietly as their hard charging number 6 pushed the pace. Brentwood began to feel the wear of their first game and lost their starting 9 to injury. Franklin soon capitalized and scored two times within the last nine minutes to be down only by one point. In the end, Brentwood’s defense would hold and the boys in blue would win by one, 15-14.
Man of the Match : Layne Meltzer, 2 Tries
