Match report

USA Young Hawks, in their first tournament, finished fifth overall after defeating Serbia 40-12, scoring three tries in a blistering opening 14 minutes. George Tupou, USA Young Hawks head coach, said: “Serbia are a big team but we had better preparation this time, came ready to play and the boys showed their desire out there.”

Logan Myers, Drayson Moliga and impressive stand off Chris Malo with the first of his hat trick all crossed inside a quarter of an hour, Filip Cirkovic stopping the onslaught with his score. Two Malo tries in ten minutes after the break ensured the win, Edin Mehmedi restoring some pride for the hosts when he powered his way through to score between the posts.

“We were better than our last performance,” commented Serbia U19s head coach Vladislav Dedic. “We showed up, scored two good tries and battled through the heat.”
