The 9/10 game proved to be very competitive.  The Leopards would score first from great ball movement in the forward pack.  Taki Vakalahi would get credit for the score.  Snow Canyon would answer tying the score 7 to 7.  Before the end of the first half, East would score again making the half time score 14 to 7.  Jacob Vainuku would rumble through the Snow Canyon defense for the score. 

It was all East in the first 10 minutes of the second half scoring on 3 back to back possessions.  The Leopards got the ball out wide to Tanner Burnett for the score.  Ami Tausinga then stole a lose ball, fought to stay in bounds and hustled down the sideline for the break away try.  Then Paul Maile would score off of the pick and go.  It was a huge start to the second half.  The team played great fundamental rugby and played very well as a group.  Snow Canyon would answer but East would score two more times.  Joe Teisina would find the try line and Ami Tausinga would have a line break at outside center and take it in for the score.  The Leopards would take this one with a final score of 47 to 12.  It was a great effort by the young side that will be the future of the East Rugby program.
