Yesterday the boys travelled to Ryde (for the third time in a row - surely the next one we get to host!) to take on Holy Cross in round 2 of the Peter Mulholland Cup.
Needing a win, and off the back of some strong form in the PDS competition the boys took little time to get the scoring underway as Heath Mason burst through a gap running 60m to score the first of three tries he managed today.
We crossed again shortly after, and 15 minutes in we were up 14-0 before some poor handling and errors left us defending our line for some time. The boys showed great resilience to continually turn them away, and we scored a couple more before the half-time break, leading 26-0.
After crossing early again in the second half we made a couple of defensive errors letting Holy Cross score a couple of quick tries, before settling again and finishing off the game strong with another long range try, this time to Liam Walsh. The score finished 50-10, however we did miss around 8 kicks for goal from the sideline, something to fix next week!
There were a number of outstanding performances yesterday, skipper Heath Mason was terrific, Dylan Smith creates opportunities out of hooker all game, Archie Duncombe must have made 45 tackles and Jed Reardon was strong as usual. All boys are improving across the park every game.
Next week we take on Blacktown in the PDS Semi-Final, at home, and we want to finish the term on a high.
Onto the next one!
