Saturday saw us playing Central Pirates out at Wilsons Crossing. Ground and weather conditions were excellent.
A better scrum effort this week and some running rugby saw POB leading 21 nil at 1/2 time with tries to Matt Hunt, Glenn McEwan and Jack Sharland with all 3 converted by Oscar Jenkins.
The 2nd 1/2 saw Central Pirates playing to their strength upfront and they dominated territory. Good defence saw Central Pirates work hard for their 2 tries and with 5 minutes remaining Oscar Jenkins kicked a penalty to make the final score
24 - 12.
The win was result of good teamwork and defence although still plenty to work on at practice for the upcoming game against Wyndham who have had a good start to the season. Player of the day was Spencer Marshall.
Shahn Bragg is the new holder of the green jacket which he gets to hold for a couple of weeks due to no rugby over duck shooting weekend.
