Providence report

A light side traveled to Providence on Saturday without a good number of regulars who had other commitments. The game was a relatively good one with each side scoring a try in the first half, with the 10-5 halftime score reflecting the solid first phase defense of Portland. ScottyToHotty (playing outside center) set up Bernie for a good-looking Portland try. The second half had Portland playing into the wind and the game slipped away with the lads (in their flashy new red strip) being caught out and unable to re-organize their defense to a counter-attacking Providence back-line. Final scoreline was somewhere in the five tries to one ballpark. Kudos to Andy Nelson for making the trip with his trashed shoulder and pulling on a jersey.
