The Brujos were short of Southwest RFU’s mandated 15 players for Saturday’s match in Santa Fe, but to their credit showed up to honor the occasion of our 50th Golden Anniversary match and banquet. With a 28-0 forfeit win thus secured, the Santos loaned their loyal opposition a few players and the match commenced. It turned out to be a lopsided affair, as the apparently dispirited Brujos went down in flames, 57-nil.The Santos crossed for five tries in the first 40 minutes and four in the second half. Standoff Mateo Cardiel led the parade with a hat trick and slotted six conversions. Isaiah Sanchez bagged a try in each half, Jonathan Lithgow was rewarded for his all-out effort with a long scoring run, and halfback John Bent and wing Justin Stallworth also each touched down. Small doubt the forwards would have named board president Seth Johnson’s triumphant dive between the sticks as the day’s most popular try.The ole Labor Day pig showed its worth once again, a few brews were drained, and it was off to gussy up for the evening’s 50th anniversary banquet. Special thanks! to our own Whores For a Day, without whose contribution Saturdaymay not have been a Rugby Day!
