UBCOB Ravens victorious against Peñarol

The Vancouver vs Montevideo battle was won by the UBCOB Ravens. The Canadian side were 23-14 winners against a very young Peñarol on Saturday in Glendale, Colorado.

The teams each touched down for two tries. Scrum-half Alex Ball scored for the Ravens and N8 Pedro Mársico did so for Peñarol.

The final quarter opened with the Ravens leading 14-13. Ball’s second try and a penalty to Gradyn Bowd meant the UBCOB Ravens scored ten points in the final minutes to seal the result.

The match was the second of four games in the Challenge Cup of the Americas. Earlier on in the day, Los Jaguares XV were comprehensive winners over the American Raptors. The exhibition tournament will continue next Saturday. The UBCOB Ravens face Los Jaguares XV while Peñarol will take-on the American Raptors.
