Old Boys Draw Against Providence
PINE BANKS – On a day which would see three action packed rugby matches take place at the Banks, the Mystic Old Boys took the field against the Providence Old Cocks. The Mystics were able to keep Providence on the defensive throughout much of the match, setting up some great rugby to show the younger generations that they still had the stuff. Tries by Stefan and Whitey would keep the Gray Gulls in the game, however the score would remain level at match’s end. The Mystic Old Boys are undefeated this season with a record of 4-1-0.
