P.O.B U9 BLUE REPORT v STAR

The P.O.B U9 Blue team played Star at CPT 5 on Saturday 14th July. The team had 10 players with Flynn not playing. Star had 13 players so they lent us 1 of their players. Thanks to the Star coaches & players for doing that.
 The game itself was a tough; physical & tight encounter with both teams putting their bodies on the line. Mistakes proved costly from both teams. Star ended up winning but we had our chances with us knocking the ball on over the line & cutting back inside with an unmarked player out wide. We will learn from our mistakes {even the All Blacks  lose sometimes }. In saying that the guys played their guts out & were told to hold their heads up high as both teams played some cracking rugby. We just let Star get away with some close quarter stuff like letting them slow down the play of the  ball & not blowing them out  rucktime. {Lookout practise Thursday night }
 Even though we lost their were a lot more positives with the highlight been Lucy ‘ Goosey’ Hall outflanking the Star defenders to score a brilliant try in the corner. The end of the day the team is playing good hard & positive rugby.
 The team was well led by Cullen McLeod
