Naples, FL Hammerheads defeated Miami Tridents 12-5 in a very physical match, on Saturday, Jan 23, 2010 in Estero, Florida. The Florida weather started relatively sunny and cool, but got hotter and more humid as the day progressed, so that energy levels were sapped a bit. Miami went up early 5-0 with a try in the corner. Naples responded with two tries of their own before the half. Hammerhead's speedy winger, Ty Lloyd, scored one and Scrum Half Shane Young scored the other. Fly Half Andrew Marcus converted one of the two tries.

The first half saw both a Miami Trident, and a Naples Hammerhead get sin binned. The Trident was yellow carded for purposely tripping an opponent, and the Hammerhead was binned for a one leg take down, pile drive tackle.

The second half, there was no scoring. The Tridents seemed to have an advantage in possession, but the Naples defense did not break. There was one altercation where fists were thrown. This is nothing new when Tridents and Hammerheads get together.
