Hyderabad Heroes top league with big win over Delhi Redz
Hyderabad Heroes closed their league campaign in the GMR Rugby Premier League with a dominant 31-7 win over Delhi Redz, securing the top spot ahead of the knockout clash on Saturday
Hyderabad: The Hyderabad Heroes will finish the league stage of Season 1 of the GMR Rugby Premier League as the table toppers, as they closed out their campaign in this phase of the tournament with a resounding 31-7 win at the Shahaji Raje Bhosale Sports Complex in Mumbai on Friday.
On Saturday, the Hyderabad Heroes will play the fourth-placed side for a spot in the final.
The Hyderabad Heroes started off at lightning speed and got their points tally moving in the first minute itself. Sukumar Hembrom turned on the afterburners for his try, and Terio Tamani converted with ease. The Delhi Redz, stunned initially, bounced back through a penalty try.
The Heroes were in the mood to put on a show, and before the first half ended, Terio Tamani set up Sambit Pradhan with a delightful move. Pradhan went over the line, and soon after, Joji Nasova crossed over too, and Tamani converted both the attempts. At half-time, the Heroes led 21-7.
There was more domination from the Heroes after the break, as Lautaro Velez registered a comfortable try, extending the lead by five more points. In the final quarter, Manuel Moreno added another try and put the seal on the win.
