Sandy Bay Vikings lost on the weekend to a strong Valley Knights side 32-7. The game was closely contested in the early stages during a physical battle up front led by strong defensive efforts from Fai Mika and James Rees in the forwards. The backs put together some sharp attacks with some strong carries in the midfield from Jonathan Cimmerbeck and Brandon Bellamin. Tom McQueen returning to 15’s action also showing his athletic prowless with ball in hand however was unable to convert his efforts into five pointers. Onwards and upwards for the Bay who are looking to rebuild after departing french contingent players returned home after impressive performances earlier in the season.
