1st Grade vs UTS

Finals time is back around and in the major semi final played on Saturday The Southern Power played UTS for the right to go straight into the grand final. The Power were beaten by UTS a few weeks back and were looking to avenge that defeat on the bigger surface of Henson Park. A slight cross breeze made conditions less than ideal however it was much easier than the gale faced last week.

The first quarter was an extremely tight, high pressure affair. Both sides attacked the ball hard and were also putting plenty of pressure on anyone with the ball. The ball was pretty much trapped within the centre square and neither side could really penetrate the forward 50. It took nearly 15 minutes for the first goal to be scored however a quick reply saw the scores stay even through to quarter time where UTS led by a solitary point. Matty and Phil, 2 key members of the side both had started the game well.

3rd Grade vs Penrith

The last round of the season for the boys as we didn’t make finals saw everyone keen for a big one to finish the year. A couple of wins over recent weeks saw the boys full of confidence ( or was that still the alcohol in the systems from a massive team bonding/end of season get together from the previous weekend?). Never the less the boys took too Gwawley bright and early on Saturday morning to tackle the dust storm… and the Rams.
