NOT to be confused with the State Pharmaceuticals Corporation, but St. Peter's College carried out lethal experiments on Science College in a plot to thicken their game, prior to their big weekend of the season.

League intensifies as SPC conducts Science experiments

We also saw some tight and intense rugby games being played all through the weekend with most results being so close and so unusual at this stage of the season, that it becomes pivotal to break those encounters down to make proper sense of what's happening behind the scenes, and especially in the Maestro minds of the Coaches of the top 6 Schools to be, with some elements of speculative conspiracy.

Zahira hosting Kingswood - 21 June: The weather Gods were kind enough not to spoil one of the most heated contests of the weekend, yet regrettably both teams failed to play to their best poten tial in this game, making a ton of handling, disciplinary and decisional errors, thereby turning this into a low scoring game. There was absolutely no excuse for the home team Zahira to deliver anything less than what they were capable of on a Desert dry Turf, but they probably didn't even hit 70% of their full potential.

Kingswood didn't seem the usual aggressive bunch with the Ball as well, other than when their Forwards carried it, while the Backs seemed much less potent with frequent decision paralysis.

While Zahira's unforced handling errors were restricted to an average 6, unfortunately three of them were knocked on either very close to, or beyond Kingswood's line of prestige, which was the sole reason for their defeat in this game. In addition, Zahira's left Winger was the weakest link in their Backline, messing up a number of chances, either in advancing the gain line, or scoring points. He was mostly never in position to receive passes from the Centre, especially when they were attacking intensely, and when he eventually did, he got himself trapped almost instantly by the defenders. That's a minimum of 4 undefendable Tries going abegging amounting to at least 20 points.
