Weekend wrap up...

Unfortunately the result didn't go the way the club wanted and the Forde Auto Services Prems went down 37 - 32 to Woodlands in the Galbraith Shield semi final at Les George Oval on Saturday.

The team stayed in touch all game but unfortunately the referees arm seemed to only go one way and dished out the majority of penalties to Woodlands. A dubious yellow card also had a big effect on the game with Woodlands capitalising on the scoreboard while one of the POB flankers was in the bin.


Woodlands built a handy lead and unfortunately time ran out the clock before the boys could close the gap. 

POB lock Craig Smith making some yards up the middle:
Not a good day at the office for the Forklifts NZ POB Div2 team who had to beat Blues to stay in contention for the Div2 final. 

Due to a managerial error the kicking tee didn't make it to the game and 2 gimme kicks in front of the post were missed and things didn't improve from there. The boys tried hard all game but it was just one of those days where things didn't click despite all the effort the boys put in. Final score 31 - 5 to Blues.

VB doing some damage in the front row...
On a better note the Div2 bbq while watching the premier semi final went flawlessly with Ropo putting in a man of the match performance with the tongs...
The nice clear calm conditions out at Les George saw the smell of the bbq waft across the ground and caused POB flanker Nick Hayes some mid game hunger pains down on the far 22.

Good news for the POB Senior Cs, a 21 - 12 victory over the Delights will see them on the bus to Gore for their 6th final in row against Albion Excelsior.

Over in South Africa the Highlanders were going well and were leading the Sharks 27 - 25 with about 10 to go when unfortunately a missed touch finder saw the Sharks get back into Highlanders territory and kick a couple of late penalties to win 31 - 27. Good effort by JP Koen who got on with 25 minutes to go and went really well
