Thanks very much to the writer of this article,  much appreciated,  sorry I have taken so long to get them up.

The score at halftime was GT 17 Churchie 3. 

In the first half Churchie fumbled and bumbled a lot – numerous dropped ball, and the goal kicker missed three goals from short range, two hit the posts while a third sailed two metres wide. GT played well with Matt Lucas a standout in both halves – he is a game little rooster. He went down three times during the game with a recurring shoulder problem, yet he kept getting back up to organize the attack, and did at least three try-saving tackles. 

After half time, Churchie rearranged the backline moving Junior Raselea from Centre to Flyhalf. Suddenly, Churchie clicked – no more dropped ball, big runs by Pango(?), Raselea had his hands on the ball in most moves, and the goalkicker started kicking conversions from the sideline. 

Churchie actually led 31-17 before GT scored late in the game. 

I suspect Churchie to be the dark horses of the comp – when they get it together, they can really play good Rugby.
