  • The opening round of the UAE Con­ference yesterday featured “history in the making” as Al Ain Amblers First XV thrashed the Second XV 92-0.

    The two sides met for the first time in a competitive match at Al Ain Amblers Rugby Club, with last season’s beaten finalists handing out a lesson to the debutants in the derby.

    “The scoreline didn’t justify the competitiveness of the game,” firsts lock Aaron Kerney said. “The sec­onds put on a good show, conceding less penalties throughout.

    “The match was history in the making.”

    It was a much better night for fellow debutants Heartbeat Tigers, who came away with a 39-13 victory from their trip to Abu Dhabi Sara­cens Second XV.

    There was disappointment for UAE Conference Cup holders Dubai Hurricanes Second XV, who conceded four unanswered tries in a 29-12 defeat to Jebel Ali Dragons Second XV.

    Arabian Knights edged the Dubai Sports City derby clash with Dubai Sharks by 18-13. Sharjah Wander­ers scored 36 second-half points in a 46-0 win against Xodus Wasps Second XV.

    The Abu Dhabi Harle­quins Second XV and Dubai Exiles Second XV tie was postponed.
