Family affair as Maccabi rugby beat Canterbury
Maccabi rugby earned their fourth win this season in round 13, when two generations of Sterns played.
After some recent heavy losses in the Sydney Subbies McLean Cup against top-four teams, Maccabi Rugby Club returned to the winner’s circle in round 13 – the penultimate round of the season – on July 27 when travelling to Wills Park to take on 8th-placed Canterbury.
After gaining confidence in a solid first half in which they scored 4 tries to 2, the Maccabi men went on with the job, scoring 2 more tries while not conceding any more.
They coasted to a 42-10 victory, moving up from seventh to sixth place. It was their fourth win of what’s been a tough season.
Fly-half Max Wright scored a hat-trick, Evan Van der Knaap, Afu Vakapuna, and Jake Delmenico all crossed the tryline, and Nathan Abrahams kicked all 6 conversions.
Other top contributors were 17-year-old Isaac Cohen, Adam Gazzard, and Noah Rubin in the scrum-half role.
