A pushover try following a lineout by forward Michael Unger proved the difference for the Burnaby North Vikings in a 17-7 win over Moscrop in the BurWest high school district junior boys' rugby championships at Burnaby Lake-East last Thursday.
Trailing 10-0 late in the second half, Moscrop finally managed a reply on a 10-metre run and touch down between the posts by Andrew Jones to close the deficit to three points. But North countered with a drive of its own, culminatiing in a backline score by Brian Kim. Xavier Tintinger converted the try from near the sidelines.
