The 1st XV's huge victory over Otago Boys' headlined one of the best weeks of the season for McGlashan so far on the rugby paddock.
It was an arm-wrestle of a game, with everyone including the wingers covered from head to toe in mud by the end of it. Some sensible tactics saw Max Hore knock over a couple of first-half penalties, before adding one shortly after the interval to push JMC into a 9-0 lead. Otago Boys' hit back shortly after, but a solid defensive performance in the final fifteen minutes and excellent discipline saw our men hang on! Max was key in controlling the territory, but it was a game won by the forwards, with Henry Cleaver leading the charge. All in all, a fantastic effort that secured a home semi-final against OBHS this coming Saturday.
