After Brisbane, there was a bit of the danger of after the Lord Mayor’s Show at Townsville, not one the girls would prove to be subject to. Saturday saw them win their netball match, then draw in Hockey this morning.
For the under 16 boys it was perhaps a game too far as, in a muggy morning, the precision and speed of thought wasn’t there against a Townsville representative side, as Nick Richardson writes…
A strong start to the game by the opposition, led to two early tries. The first half was a story of drop balls and knock-ons by RGS. This allowed the opposition to take complete control of the game. The start of the second half , however, was far more promising with intense pressure on the other team by RGS, this allowed rgs to score their first try. Unfortunately Townsville scored from the kick off, to give them a 20 point lead with 15 minutes to go. This is when the controversy started, the referee blew the final whistle. This came as a surprise to both teams and the supporters on the sideline. Not surprisingly most of RGS team felt hard done by. Though the last game didn’t go to plan the tour as a whole was a success with 3 out 6 games won....
The 2nd XV started strongly, but then subsided to some direct running. The 1st XV, despite being the better side found themselves 10-10 at half time. However, the second half saw us take over, but unable to convert pressure into points until two tries saw a safe gap opened. For the upper sixth players, of course, their last game of their school careers. And ended on a high.
Now, we're a transit louge in Darwin airport, longing for home. In the next few days, before I go on holiday, I'll add some more stuff. piccies etc
