MATCH REVIEW

1^st Grade VS Ourimbah Saturday 9^th July 2011 at Ourimbah Rugby Park

Result : Avoca 35 Ourimbah 10

It was always going to be tough with a number of players out through injury and other commitments

Some missed opportunities early saw it close at half time. Young Josh Meadham made a good debut at hooker whilst the twins Dave & Dan were solid in the centres

Ando scored a good try off a set move with Speedy keeping the enemy at bay with accurate goal kicking

Hard to go past Jumbo/s 30 meter effort for a 5 pointer as the main contender for prop's try of the year

The 2^nd half saw us reduce the errors and we kicked away to a good lead.

Juice came on for an injured Wes Tancred and despite a full game in 2nds was able to give the scrum strength. Young Sherry continued his good form and with the trio of Conan/Stretch & Oatie backing him up our forwards got on top.

Fuz’s field goal attempt led to our 4^th try when Stretch followed through to pluck the ball off the crossbar and slam it down under the post. Once again a bonus point to increase our standing at the top of the table.

In all a good club effort and congratulations to 2nds who held out for a draw despite some players having to back up from 3rds. An undermanned 3rds went down 21-7 and as the referee gave Ourimbah 14 points due to what only could be called “interesting decisions” it was good effort that went unrewarded

Next week its Kariong away
