Republic Polytechnic, Monday, July 25, 2011 — St. Andrew’s Secondary School beat defending champions Raffles Institution 35–5 in the 2011 National C Division Rugby Championship.
The Saints scored four tries to RI’s one to seal the win.
The win was the Saints’ seventh win in a row and they finished top of Group A. They will play Anglo-Chinese School (Barker Road) in the semi-finals on Thursday, August 11th. RI are out of the running for the semi-finals. The other semi-final will see Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) play St Joseph’s Institution.
St Andrew’s player Zulfadli said: “Raffles is indeed a strong team to play against. The team was not the best today and we will be in a better form for the upcoming matches. I feel proud to play for St. Andrew’s!”
