Butler Motors POB U9s v Bear Harrington Marist U9s

6/7/2012

0 Comments

 
As always a game the boys look forward to, some banter on the sideline prior to kickoff saw a jug of beer placed on the result as there were family connections on both teams. A tough first half with good defence on both sides saw a try to Sam McDonald from broken play 5 minutes before halftime. On the stroke of halftime Lachie Nimmo latched onto a loose pass at halfway and took off towards the tryline with nobody in front of him. Unfortunately he appears to have his fathers speed and was cut down by the chasing defence and the half time score remained one nil.

The second half started out the same as the first with defence and good chasing resulting in a good even game. Tries were exchanged by both sides throughout the half and as the final few minutes wound down the score was 3 - 2 to POB, Phil McDonald could almost taste the free jug of beer he was going to get from his brother in law.
Great play by POB saw them swing onto attack and chase a loose ball thru to the Marist tryline. POB almost scored to make the game safe however some good clean up work and counter attacking saw Marist score at the other end. 

Rugby was the winner on the day with the final score being 3 all. Jake Kura (sporting a new haircut), Flynn Jackson, Sam McDonald & Jacob Mika all played well.

Player of the day was Sean Docherty.
