Mystic Winning Streak Continues
NEW HAVEN, CT - Week four of
the 2007 Fall season found the undefeated Mystic River team traveling to
Connecticut to face the 2006 NERFU D1 Champions, New Haven. Defense played
a key role for both sides as they battled up and down the pitch, keeping
the score at 3-0 in Old Black's favor at the half. The second half proved
to be much the same as both teams struggled to break through the
opposition, until a Mystic offensive charge was able to penetrate for two
unanswered Mystic tries and win number four.
Next, the
Mystic Second XV's took the field in a match that pitted together two
undefeated second sides. It proved to be a another grueling, tooth and
nail battle, with neither side giving an inch without a fight.
With only 15 minutes
to play, the slight Mystic lead was broken by two unanswered tries,
giving New Haven the win.

Third Straight Win For Mystics
PINE BANKS - Despite
being down 14-10 at half time, the Mystics were able to keep the ball
close and drive at the line repeatedly in the second half. Amoskeag's
defense held up well but eventually the Mystics were able to score. The
Mystics finally took the lead 25-22 with six minutes left to play. Mystic
winger Adnan Kawuma scored a 50 meter break away try off of a loose
ball on the final play of the match to pad the final score and collect the
bonus point.
Later
that day, the Mystic 2nd XV also extended their own winning streak to
three. Constant pressure shattered Amokskeag's defenses, producing
multiple tries for the young and blood-thirsty Mystic side. In their
last three matches, the Bs have dominated their opponents outscoring
them 124-15.

Roster Depth Secures Two Wins
NORWALK, CT - The Mystics
traveled to Norwalk CT this past weekend with two full experienced sides
to open the season with two strong wins against the CT Yankees. Both
Mystic sides took control of their respective games early and kept their
composure throughout. Coach Scot Durkin, while pleased with the
wins, noted that we are not yet playing our best rugby and will be looking
to improve Saturday's effort this week. It's an exciting time to be
watching the Mystics!
