Win 12-10, lose 12-10. That was Saturday for the Coquitlam-based United Rugby Club.
Right after the United Div. 2 men's squad tripped Langley 12-10, its Div. 1 contingent fell by the identical count to same club at New Wesminster's Hume Park.
Winger Jesse Davies and standoff Andrew Flood scored a try apiece as United's Div. 2 team held off Langley down the stretch, after Jeremy Jakobze was ejected for too many infractions.
United coach Simon Quinto utilized some tactical substitutions as his team warded off their opponents to secure its third win of the season, holding Langley scoreless the final 15 minutes while playing shorthanded.
In Div. 1 play, a last-ditch dash down the sidelines by Tanner Elgear was ruled out of bounds just inches shy of the try line and time elapsed as United dropped a two-pointer to Langley.
Greg Doucette staked United to a 12-10 margin after some hard-nosed first-half work by centres Orisi Vukivana and Kieren O'Connell.
In Div. 3 action, United failed in its bid for three straight wins to start the season, dropping a 38-19 count to Capilano.
Nick Vukelic and Scott Aikens scored tries in vain for United, who got fine kicking by fullback Tim Phillips and standoff Ken Prosser.
Meanwhile, United's U-19 unit got a try from prop Moreno Burak off a dish-off by flanker Blake Chernoff but it wasn't nearly enough in a 22-5 loss to Bayside from South Surrey.
The loss dipped United to 2-1 on the season.
