Night N Day Pirates Old Boys Under 9 Black Match Report

7/30/2012

0 Comments

 
Night N Day Pirates-Old Boys Under 9 took on the strong Marist Green side this weekend.  Although beaten 25-5 the team performed superbly working to a plan to stop the big Marist forwards running rampant up the middle.  Aggressive gang tackling ensured that these monsters were shut down forcing Marist to look elsewhere to gain an advantage.  Down 10-5 at the break the team conceded  a run away try immediately but the game was in the balance until the final 3 minutes where Marist scored 2 tries out wide after freeing the ball from maul situations with most players committed to the breakdown.  The team did well getting numbers to the tackle and tying up the ball and there were some huge hits put in by player of the day Jayden Goble, Neha Kane and Trent Hogg. 

On attack the boys had Marist stretched a few times with Jayden proving difficult to stop.  Good support for ball carriers was provided by Bailey Stewart (aka Turtle) and Seth Ryder.  Thanks to Ben Jennings and Eli Meuli who played 2 games today to help us out.  They added some valuable experience and grunt to our side and must have been knackered by the time the game was finished.  We have a few things to work on such as off-loading at the right time, keeping players out wide to defend and running straight instead of sideways on occasions but all in all a top effort from the boys today, probably the best of the season,deserving of a closer scoreline and the team can hold their heads up high.
