Toys For Tots Tournament at the Citadel: The C of C Men's RFC played two matches this weekend. The first, against the Outlaws, was the best fight the cougars have put up to the Charleston Men's team in a while. The final score of 36-0 does not reflect the efforts put forth. The second game however, was a different story. The cougars put up a poor performance against arch rivals, the Citadel, losing 60-12. The game was scheduled on short notice due to their opponent not appearing at the tournament. The match was sluggish, and the tackling was poor. The only highlights involved the trys by Joey Ingham, after a long push by the pack, Tyler Pittman's great run, and Greg Hayes' extra point from the sideline that bounced off the crossbar through the uprights.

Thanks to everyone for a great season and we will see you all out in the spring.

The half ended with a score by pat, and another long run by Ryan Murray. Greg completed both extra points to make the half score 19-10. UNCC started off the second half strong with two scores and one extra point to take the lead 19-22. C of C answered with a long drive but lost the ball on the one-meter line. A failed ruck however by UNCC left the ball wide open and Ryan Murray picked the ball and scored again. At this point the game got a little out of hand with one red card issued to UNCC. The classy C of C team stayed cool, and Tim Walsh ran a long try to seal the game 31-22. In the last few minutes, two more red cards were issued to UNCC for high tackles and punching.

The cougars took on the old boys at James Island this weekend. The match started off weak with the old boys scoring four consecutive tries. After the half though, the Cougars came back, first with a penalty try, and then two more tries with monstrous pushes from the pack. Todd Burnaford and Tyler Pittman scored bringing the Cougars close to the old boys. It was not enough, and the old boys were victorious 35-17. Next year the old boys should be sure to bring their diplomas because only the ringers from the DC Irish could score on the Cougars.
