As the game progressed, we showed our ability with some well worked tries’. Following the game Lions are in fourth position in the league and Old Redcliffians in fourteenth position. A good start to the season for Lions, with eight victories from the first eleven fixtures. Teams – Order 15-9, 1-8, 16-20 |
