Right after Miami scored, the Tridents went right back and 5 minutes later scored a nice try by hooker Walter Garcia. The game was tied almost the rest of the half.

The Miami Tridents traveled to Davenport, Iowa missing a lot of the starting players due to work, school and money issues .
The Tridents arrived to Iowa with 18 players missing the two starting props, One due to work problems couldn't traveled and the other prop traveled Saturday morning but in Atlanta his fly was over booked and he couldn't make on time for the game. We had to play with our number 8 as a prop and with a prop reserve, That wasn't the only problem one of the wing got injury warming up and we didn't have a back replacement so we had to use a second row as a winger, Now since we moved the number 8 to prop we didn't have a full backrow so put a new player who just start playing rugby as a second row less that a year ago as flanker .
Even with all this problems we put a full team in the field but this team couldn't do anything against a very well organize and very fast Palmer rugby who won the game 68 to 0.
The Tridents would like to Thanks all the people who made the trip and represent the Miami Tridents RFC in Iowa as the only team in Florida who made it to Division 1 South Playoffs
Next time we hope that everybody will be able to travel so we can put a better team on the field and represent The Miami Tridents rugby in a better way
