Santa Fe Santos fall to Aardvarks by One Point

March 11, 2023 - RW

Santa Fe rugby had a wonderful Saturday battling their neighbors from the south in what turned out to be a tug of war match.

Santa Fe came up just short in their comeback losing 43-42, after scoring the final two tries of the day but failing to slot either conversion.   The spring wind was angry and blowing against Santa Fe’s kickers best efforts.  

Team spirits are high going into a crucial  Division 3 game vs El Paso in two weeks time, as coach Richard Morris best said “ I think we found something that we can replicate going Forward” (in terms of style of play).

• Man of the match backs - Mateo Cardiel #10 fly half

• Man of the match forwards - Ryan Means #6 flanker

All Santa Fe supporters are encouraged to come to the match against El Paso March 25 at the MRC.  

Thank you Aardvarks for a high quality, hard fought rugby Saturday.
