Away vs University

24th April 2010 - 2:45pm

Brighton came up against a much improved University side at a wet and muddy Ilam fields this week. The weather was always going to play a huge part in the game and it was Varsity who handled the conditions better in the opening period. There was no significant wind advantage but Varsity employed a kicking game using the wet surface to their advantage, whilst Brighton tried to run the ball out of trouble a task made very difficult by the persistant rain.

Away vs Marist Albion

1st May 2010 - 2:45pm

It was always going to be a tough day at the office for the Brighton team away at Marist. Middleton Park has not been a happy hunting ground in recent times and after a very slow start Brighton soon found themself 7-0 down. Some slack defence enabled Marist to break and after a few well constructed phases they forced their way over. This early score line was even more disappointing with Brighton having the advantage of a strong first half wind.

Home vs Shirley

5th June 2010 - 2:45pm

The DCL Shield defence this week saw Brighton take on Shirley at Rawhiti. After some slow starts recently Brighton were determined to start the game well and so they did establishing a 21-0 lead with three well constructed tries in the first 15 mins. The rest of the half saw a scrappy affair with Shirley twice taking advantage of some poor short side defence to score down the left hand side. The conversions were missed leaving a 21-10 half time lead to Brighton.

12th June 2010 - 2:45pm

This weekend’s game saw another Eastside derby between Brighton and Linwood at Linfield. Encounters between the two teams are always fiercely contested but with the DCL and the chance to win the first round also on the line this game had an extra edge to it!

Home vs Belfast

21st June 2010 - 2:45pm

It was a fairly simple equation going into saturdays game against bottom of the table Belfast at Rawhiti, win with a bonus point and Brighton would claim the first round for the first time in decades. Having gone 10 games unbeaten and with only Belfast standing in the way it seemed like a relatively simple task on paper, but it was a big occassion for the boys and perenial cellar dwellers Belfast have improved no end in recent weeks.

Home vs University

26th June 2010 - 2.45pm

All of the celebrations of the the previous week had to be put aside as the second round began with a tough fixture at home against Varsity. The format of the competition means that the winner of round one has no advantage in the more important second round as the points are reset, so it was important to carry on our winning ways against a vastly improved Varsity team.
