Wow ! what a win ...Victorious again ! (officially Zug 59 - PAC Geneva 12)

This was a great team match vs PAC, 3rd in the National league tables. Despite many regular players being absent due to last minute pull out because of imminent exams/illness, Zug U19 had just enough starting players. It was a nervous shaky start due to new positions/roles (eg. Raph Escola new position-scrum half - normally hooker- and Captain) and repositioning of several others, however Zug began wielding their steely axe effectively with outstanding force, creativity, awareness, agility, and brutal unforgiving playmaking not seen for a long time!

The notable ‘relative newcomers’ to Zug RFC being outstanding; ‘Vincent (dominant), Florian (reliable), Boris ( good catch!), Aaron ( the wall), Clive(welcome back a new Clive!) plus the consistent dependable players; Edgar (outstanding!), Kai(reliable), Farouk (great support try!), and many others. In a high scoring game Zug were already leading 14-7 after 17 minutes but PAC GENEVOIS responded with another try and being equalised the game was on! However Zug went on to lead with a great inside pass to Zach Needham to score at 26 minutes, Farouk 30 minutes and that theme continued with some of the old guard (nice to see a cameo appearance again from Finlay) to the very end of the game with a dramatic concession of points by PAC. Final score : Zug 72 - PAC 19 (thanks to Peter, Harry, Zach, Paul H, Leo among others).

A great team effort ! Congratulations!
