Rugby union: good weekend for Mandurah Pirates

Tim SlaterMandurah Coastal Times

The B grade side got off to a great start with Dylan Lewis scoring a try in the second minute of the game to set up a thumping 87-0 win, securing their spot in second place.

The A grade game was closer, with both teams putting everything into their performances during the first half with some amazing talent on display.

At the half time break, Mandurah had a small lead, looking to improve on a few mistakes, and put on some youth.

The plan worked as Mandurah started to break through the Irish defence, scoring a few unanswered tries, allowing Andew Taitoko to show off his skills with the boot, pushing ahead to get a bonus point win, finishing the game with a well deserved 43-5 win.
