Week 3: Hilliard Defeats Dublin
At Hilliard's Tharp Middle School on Friday night, Dublin came up short, losing to the Bears 33-24 in the cold rain and mud. Dublin showed its characteristic tenacity, mounting a significant comeback near the end of the second half and never letting up through the final whistle. Hilliard, a club that has been around for 15 years, showed more experience and depth than the young Dublin program, which ultimately proved to be the advantage they needed.
In the week leading up to Friday's home match against the Crusaders, Dublin will be working on maintaining its defensive structure.
Week 2: Withrow Bests Dublin
The Withrow Tigers outmatched a shorthanded Dublin team at Coffman Park on Friday night. Dublin started strong, striking first with a 30 meter run by fly-half Alec Scheurle.
Unfortunately, Withrow began to overtake Dublin who started the game with only 14 players. Dublin fought until the end but ultimately could not compete with Withrow's fresh legs and depth on the bench, losing 32-10.
Week 1: Dublin Falls to Canton
A couple hours up I-71 left Dublin out of gas. A more prepared Canton team controlled the game, winning 28-3. Dublin's 3 points came from the foot of Alec Scheurle on a penalty kick from 30 meters out.
This was the first match for many of Dublin's players and the team looks to make big strides in the week to come before facing Withrow Tigers from Cincinnati.
