Word is the revolution has begun. No longer do the Greendown rugby coaches have to scour the darkest corners of the school to find representatives for the first XV. The Y11 team want to go out with a bang and they made a terrific start by blowing away Nova Herod by 43-10. A welcome return to the arena was Carney Bonner, Ryan Martin and Josh Woods. For the first time ever coaches have selection issues. Carney at 6ft 2 and Ryan Martin the England ABA Boxing champ made up the bench, which shows the quality of athlete that made the final cut.
The Greendown men got off to a cracking start. Fast ball provided space for danger runners, RJ, Trigger, Aiden Stevens and Josh Jefries. Holes appeared in the defence and it was not long before Louis Butcher had gone over in the corner. This opened the flood gates. More trys from Dan Baker x 2, Trigger, Ryan Martin and another by Louis saw us take a comfortable lead. However this was not the end of the story. Influential captain josh Jeffries and stand in outside half James Harden were forced to leave the field and the game became a contest.
The Herod scrum half caught the Greendown defence napping and squeezed over in the corner, followed by another break away try under the sticks.
Greendown were to have the last say in the game. The Greendown army camped out on the opposition line for 5 mins. Josh Cox came close to scoring, diving over the line but forgetting to take the ball with him. It was left to Harry Lloyd to seal the win with a terrific run at the death.
Final score 44-12 Greendown - Mr A Buchalik
