Edinburgh Eagles Progress

At genesissports we like nothing better than learning the successes of our customers, especially if it involves a true British underdog story!

Wearing their own bespoke designed PUMA kit, Edinburgh Eagles turned over Gloucestershire University 32 – 36 to book their place in the second round of the Carnegie Challenge Cup, for the second consecutive year, with back-to-back tries in the last 10 minutes.

Hat-trick hero Mike Wallace and half-back Andy Grodynski will steal all the headlines, but it was an extremely determined team performance which sent the Eagles through.

Man of the match Wallace commented:

“Over the moon with this result. I felt we showed great character in the last 20 minutes, which hopefully, we can continue with in the next round. It was a fantastic game and Gloucester proved how high the standard of Student Rugby League is at the moment.”

Head Coach & genesissports’ very own Business Development Manager, Angus McNab, praised his players but believes it’s about what happens next.

“It was a big ask and a great effort from the boys to take time away from family and work commitments to travel such a long way and get a result. We are delighted with the win and will re-group at training tonight to set about progressing in the competition, as the third round is somewhere we have never been before. Considering we haven’t played since September it really was a fantastic result.”
