Last Saturday, the Christian Brothers men’s rugby team took on the Del Campo Cougars in a league match. The team started the game strong with a try from Jim Ledesma ‘19, the first of his career, and Jared Hunter ‘21 kept the score within one try going into the second half. The boys ran out of steam in the second half and ended up losing 49-17.

The rugby team responded to this loss with an incredible victory against Sac Pal on Tuesday. The men of the match were Hunter and Aidan O’Malley ‘19,as Hunter scored three tries and O'Malley scored one. Ledesma and Alex Asher ‘19 also scored some key tries to lead the Falcons to their first win of the season. 

When asked about the game against Sac Pal Ledesma said, “They played dirty and still lost”. This shows the will of the Falcons team and how when the other team goes low they go high. The boys were able to stick to their game plan and come away with a win while the other team pulled themselves apart.

The boys plan to continue with another strong performance in their upcoming game in San Jose against Silicon Valley on Saturday.
