Flyhalf Mike Goodall pried the ball from a ruck and helped set up Cole McQueen’s 22-metre try early in Saturday’s contest, then nailed the convert which proved to be the game-winning kick in the Burnaby Lake Rugby Club’s 43-10 victory over Capilano RFC last Saturday in premier men’s play.
Goodall’s first convert made the score 12-0, and came a handful of minutes after Dan Josok had opened the scoring off a pass from Jeke Gotegote.
Before the half, Josok picked up his second try, Kimi Vunituraga corralled a loose ball and shook off two tacklers en route to the end zone, and Jack Caithness made a mad dash to make it 29-3.
Vunituraga got the ball rolling in the second half, intercepting a pass that he offloaded to Fuku Vikilani who in turn fed Josok for his third try of the game. Goodall’s third convert of the day propped Burnaby ahead 36-3, with the final try coming from Giuseppe Laudisio, again set up by Vunituraga.
The win boosts BLRC’s record to 5-0 in the Mainland premier circuit.
In men’s first division action, Burnaby overwhelmed its Capilano counterpart 50-3, led by twin tries from Andrew Porter and a try and four converts by Cian Keegan.
