Due to work being childish and blocking many important websites, like Blogspot, Facebook and Porn, this is going to be a very quick recap of our last 3 matches.
Vs Panthers (1 August 2007)
Coming back from the holidays, we were faced with a match against the Panthers. With the long break not being conducive to keeping fit and practicing (for some of us), this was going to be a tight game in order to keep the forwards close to the break down.
Panthers drew the first blood after about 15 minutes of play, but the try was unconverted. 0-5
Then, shortly after the restart, Mike Bentley did something near the ruck (awesome description) and ran 50m for a brilliant individual try. AB converted. 5-7
Taking this narrow lead into half time meant to a very tough second half, with big hits and solid defense coming from both sides. Then with a the time ticking down on the clock, the Panthers scored to take the lead, 7-10, and then as if to rub salt into out wounds scored another on with a minute to go to deny us of a bonus point.
Final score 7-15
Vs Eastern Cape to Rios (8 August)
After the previous week’s performance, against strong team, we were confident coming in to this game, but were not prepared for what happened.
After spending plenty of time in our half, Hutch managed to cross the line after a quickly taken 22 Drop off to give us a 5-0 lead.
Easterns were the next to score making it 5-5.
Ivan scored the next try, after some brilliant work by the forwards to get us close to the Easterns line. 10-5 (Apparently AB id not have his kicking boots on)
Going into half time with a 1 try advantage was a bit of a worry, because the wind was now pumping into our faces. However, the second half saw 3 unanswered tries by Donovan, Hutch and Igor (??).
Final score 27-5
Vs Spanners (15 August)
Guys, brilliant game, though it was against weaker opposition, it was fantastic to see the ball getting thrown around like that. No long match report here because it would take too long.Here are the try scorers Rocco x3, Jimmy, Gordy, Ivan, and Darren.
Big win of 46-0
Oh yes, I think Igor may have got one as well, but don’t worry, he WILL tell you if he did.
Nice one guys, on to the Quarters we go
