Ian, the boys played perfect rugby in the first 10 mins. Controlled the ball beautifully with multiple phases and earned 2 penalties that Connor Kondrat converted for 6 nil lead. Then extended that lead to 13 nil after strong run from Michael Hobden to score under the sticks and easy conversion for Connor. Then possession and territory swung the other way and Warnervale got 2 converted tries to lead 14-13 at halftime. The boys came back strongly in the second half and game was in the balance until a master stroke from the coaches who switched the speedy Jordan Sanchez from the left to the right wing. He duly beat his opposite winger and stood up the fullback to score a beautiful try. After another great conversion from Connor we were up 20-14. After Ben Harding was forced off with an ankle injury, Sam Evans steered the team around the park and Connor kicked another penalty goal to lead 23-14. Warnervale then hit back with a try out wide, but couldn't kick the conversion and our lead was cut to 23-19. It was a tense last 5 minutes and the forwards won a crucial scrum against the feed to keep the ball in Warnervales half. A penalty right on full time that was again converted by Connor gave us the game 26-19. 1 pt to bothLochie Peruch and Sam Evans, 2pts to Jordan Sanchez and 3 pts to Michael Anderson. Players player was shared by Sam Evans and Connor Kondrat
