Premiers beat Marist

A brief synopsis of the game -

The Forde Auto Services/Windsor St Physiotherapy Premiers visited Miller Street on Saturday and held out a 24-22 win over the Doolies.

Playing with a strong wind at their backs the boys were a little too eager to get over the advantage line and missed a couple of early opportunities. Marist worked their way up the field and got over mid first half. 

Forwards dominated set phase, backs looked good at times. Continuity something to work on second half.


Halftime 10-3 or 10-7? cant remember.
But thinking back i believe we scored one out wide early so lets run with 10-7.


A good talk from coach Matt Saunders regarding their manhood at half time, sparked life into the team second half and playing into that strong wind the lads went gangbusters through the middle of the field to score some cracking tries.

A four engine train went past the ground which halted play so the ref's scrum call could be heard.

Fast forward to the end of the game the Boys were up 24-15 with five to go, then Marist scored and converted to make it 24-22. A tense last couple of minutes ensured but with some good defence and the ability to retain the ball. It was happy times for all involved.

Well done boys and thanks to those who visited Miller Street.
