17 September, Saturday | Boston, MA
L 12-21 New Haven A @ Boston A
L ?-?? New Haven B @ Boston B
Well the field was a bit sloppy and the play followed suit. Down 4 starters
and two key reserves the team was in a bit of disarray and it showed early
and often as the boys were not able to respond to the adversity. An early
try got the Boston team started. New Haven bounced back with a brilliant
try from Andrew (Tui) Osborne who probably had the best game of anyone on
the team. Although bottled up on offense for the most part his defense had
the opposing #13 stymied. A second try from the Captain deep inside Boston
territory gave the visitors a glimmer of hope, but the momentum was never
really sustained.

East Shore Park | New Haven, CT
W 36-20 New Haven A vs Worcester A
W 33-0 New Haven B vs Worcester B
As opening games go it really does not get any better then The WOO v. New
Haven. Two rivals who battled in DII for years went on to DI and continue
to play tight matches with great endings. Worcester coming off a 3rd place
finish in the 2005 DI national playoffs and New Haven coming off a
disappointing early exit from those same playoffs. Early in last year's
playoffs these two teams played a hard fought 13-7 match which was just one
of many which ended in a slim margin of defeat for the Old Blacks.
