The Tuskers (2-6) get their first win in eight years against Riverside spoiling the playoff hopes for the Killer Bees (3-5) this past Saturday at Emerald Cove Park, 23-14.

Riverside would score first but the Tuskers would answer by launching an all out attack mid-way into the first half scoring four trys and a penalty goal with help from Soon Jo Hong, Scott McDonald, Mark Eberhard and Billy Ross. The Tuskers would hold on for their second win of the season officially knocking Riverside out of the playoffs.

" We are very proud of the young players on the team and it is very evident that they are gaining confidence in themselves and each other", stated Club President Ahmed Baaumer.

Billy Ross received the Man of the Match Award and the Kern Wood Award went to Andy Magargee. The Tuskers next game will be at San Luis Obispo (1-6) Mar. 28 at 1 p.m.
