| Essex County H.S. Rugby Wins First League Match The Essex County High School Rugby Club won its first league match on Saturday with a 10-7 win over Hillsborough Rugby. The first half saw Essex threaten continually in the Hillsborough end but they were unable to punch in a score. Hillsborough eventually scored in the second half to take a 7-0 lead with five minutes remaining. With little time left Essex continually kicked the ball into Hillsborough's end hoping to capitalize on a mistake. With the ball on the five-meter line, Nate Van Orden crushed a Hillsborough runner who coughed up the ball and Matthew Rosa fell on it for the score. A conversion kick from Ahmed Abdelazim tied the game. With only minutes remaining Hillsborough was penalized and Abdelazim calmly converted a Penalty kick to provide the margin of victory in the thrilling match. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
