2 July Review

Short day for the Seniors today. Colts went up to Slade Park to play Terrigal in what was a great game of Rugby - hard, fast, played in the right spirit. We opened the scoring when Jordan Sanchez finished off some good play to cross the line, unconverted. They came back with a try scored wide out right on half time, followed by the kick that proved the difference, a drop kick from near touch was successful to give them a 7-5 lead at the break. The second half was tight rugby, a few breaks but no one could cross the line. Isaac Barnes kicked a nice penalty to get us in front 8-7, but they replied a little while later with a penalty as well for 8-10. Right on full time we got a penalty about 40metres out on an angle and Isaac Barnes made a great strike at the ball but it drifted away and the boys just missed out on the points. great effort all round, the pack was fantastic, dominating scrums all day, and everything else looked good too - by the time it gets to the important end of the season this combination will be right in the thick of things. 1pt and players player Cooper Elliott, 2pts Liam Donsworth, 3pts and showing the form that had him playing for CHS 2nds, Ben Harding.
I didn't see any of the 3rds game that was a 29-5 win to us. Justin Staben continues to have a great time running around in the thirstys, scoring a try, a conversion, taking the 3pts and players player! Nathan Brown scored 2 tries, a conversion and a penalty, the other try to Chris Newton and a conversion to Josh Parish. 1pt to Justin Thomas & Josh Parish, 2pts Ash Roberts. Byes for the top 2 grades
Next week is a week off for all Juniors except u13s who have a catch up game. They will be playing before Seniors who are at Ourimbah. No 3rd grade for Ourimbah but very important games for 19s, 2s and 1s - so plan on making an effort to get over there on Saturday to support the Sharks. Cheers Boys!
