Sorry, but things just got backed up and before you know it there are two games in the books and no match report to show for either. I'll blame the Jaeger.
Well, the good news is that they were both wins for the good guys, so you can sit back off the edge of your seat.
Going back two weeks Portland turned over Charles River at home to the tune of 35-15, with four tries to secure the bonus point. Three of those tries went to Fred Hayman, who still couldn't get MOTM and one to Byron Brinkley. Instead those MOTM honors went to Scotty Derrig. The B's also won, with a similar scoreline and MOTM honors going to Ed Lutjens.
This past week Portland made their first road trip to the gravel and grass strewn goodness that is Moakley Park in Boston. Old Gold had been having a bad run of it, and that run continued after a 31-7 victory to the visitors. In a tense first half Portland's lone try came from Steve Stewart, with a penalty from Andy Nelson giving a slender 10-7 lead. Things were to open up in the second half however, with scores for me, Matt Winch and Derik Hammond. Gareth Matthews converted a couple of these and Evan Harding the other, and that's how it all ended up, with another bonus point secured. MOTM honors went to back-from-the-dead, Dave Jackowitz.
The B's continued their own winning streak too, again with a similar lopsided result. Great performances from the new talent as well as a couple of solid ones from the veterans. Colin Dumont picked up another MOTM shot for his elusive running (and scoring), while the other scorers are encouraged to post of their feats below.
Elsewhere in the league South Shore is the only other team to sport an undefeated record, yet they continue to gift their opponents try bonus points like it's bloody Christmas! Hey, fellas, let's put a little daylight between us and them, eh?
Portland have a bye week then host Hartford on 10/13.
