28 July Review

29/7/2018

 
Another day of almosts .. and more improvement from the Womens 7s. Plus grade debuts of a couple of young backs from the u19s who have the potential to be long term first graders. Day started with the Womens 7s up against Woy Woy, who had only lost one game all season .. our girls doubled that and beat them in both games! In the first game it was 14-12 with tries to Elana Withnall & Summer Witt with Inge Visser converting both. The second game was an even better result 21-10 - tries to Elana Withnall, Summer Witt & Taylah Welsh, 2 conversions to Rachael Elcoate and 1 to Inge Visser. 1pt Summer Witt, 2pts Taylor Bateman, 3pts and players player Rachael Elcoate. Unfortunately Ourimbah u19s couldn't get a full team, so we got the forfeit win and played a trial 10 a side game, which gave everyone a bit of a run and left the boys all with a lot of energy for backing up the grade teams. Thirds had 10 of the u19s as starters and almost got the win before missing out 15-19. Highlight was the Grade debut of Reece Piepers at fullback, an u19 who is still qualified to play u17s, but was unconcerned by the step up - earning the 3pts and the players player as well as kicking a conversion and a penalty. A handy debut! Tries to Michael Houssenloge & Liam Vanezis. 1pt Sebastian Eguia, 2pts Harry Layton. Seconds was a real arm wrestle and 0-0 half time score was a good indication of game mainly played between the 22s. When Matt Kiddle scored a try converted by Rob Magrath it might have been enough but they replied with a try and a penalty and we missed out 7-8. The other big debut of the day was Reece Jacobs, who has been excelling at rep rugby getting his first grade time at #15. Like the other Reece he was instantly at home and received the 2pts as well as being voted players player. 1pt Tom Wood & Rhys Stratton, 3pts Matthew Ritchie. First grade ran out knowing big win was needed to keep in touch with the finals teams. Woy Woy came out hard and had a quick 14-0 lead. Then the Sharks started to take control and had replied with a couple of tries before half time, then two more after the half for a 24-14 lead. A couple of late tries and they fought back for a 24 all draw. Injuries did take a toll during the game and in the first half we lost Tom Russell with a bad ankle which gave Reece Jacobs a bigger day, now making his first grade debut and at #10. Again he slipped straight into the role, did his job well and even had 10mins at #9 while Patrick Wheatley was given a rest period by the ref. Tries to Patrick Wheatley, Mitchell Jacob, Adam Chettle & Matt Peebles 2 conversions by Shaun Townsend. 1pt Shaun Townsend, 2pts Reece Jacobs, 3pts and players player Mitchell Jacob. Next Saturday Seniors travel to Warnervale, except 3rds who have a bye
