East played 2 games this past weekend. Both the Varsity Team and the 9/10 team played Olympus High School. The varsity Olympus game was played at Olympus High School on a Friday night under the lights. Olympus struck first on a quick penalty tap that went down the sideline. Olympus would strike again taking a 14 to 0 lead. East would answer about half way through the first half. Loa Kaufusi picked a loose ball off of the edge of the break down from about 10 meters out. The conversion was missed making the score East 5 Olympus 14. Olympus would score one more time to end the first half East 5 Olympus 21.
Olympus would open the second half with the next and final score for them making it East 5 Olympus 28. With about 20 minutes left in the match the Leopards picked up the pace. Inoke Makoni made a heads up play grabbing a loose ball and splitting the Olympus defense for the score. The conversion barely missed. This provided a bit of a spark for East. The next score would come off the back of the Scrum from Christian Folau. Christian broke a couple of different tackles for the score. With the conversion good the score was East 17 Olympus 28 which would end up as the final result.
