WEEK 7 of the ITRA Tag Rugby League resulted in Division 1 being closer than ever with current leaders Tag Her & Try Her being beaten by a renewed team of Lucas’ Legends. Tag Her & Try Her were never really a threat to the Legends and the game finished 7-2 in favour of Lucas’ Legends, a win they badly needed.
In second place on the Divison 1 League Table was Deep Heat who were looking to gain some extra points to catch Tag Her & Try Her. However Scrum N Coke proved stiff competition. The game was tied 0-0 at half time before Deep Heat had a quick succession of tries giving them a lead of 5-1. Mary O’Connor for Scrum N Coke got a majestic try to bring her team within one point and a last minute try saw the teams level at the final whistle with 5 points a piece.
Elsewhere, MurtysMen had too much for The Try Hards and their fast paced game saw them getting 12 tries to The Try Hards 3. The game finished up 12 points to 9 in MurtysMen favour, giving them their first win of this division.
In Division 2 Ennis Randomers finally got their first win of the season defeating DBOCS. The Randomers looked like winners from the off and certainly grew in confidence as the match progressed and the scores increased. The game ended with Ennis Randomers on 14 and DBOCS on 3.
First place, The Shades took on second place, On Wing With Prayer in what was being pipped as the Division 2 decider. On Wing With Prayer fought hard and fast and took the game 18 points to the Shades 9. Meanwhile Munstergroup and TTM Tryers faced off with both teams wanting to build on their wins from last week. TTM were the better team and won the match by a convincing 13 points to 4.
The competition now goes into the final week of the league with all teams eager to give one last push before finals night.
