QLD U17 VS NSW U17

Written Saturday 03/10/2009

QLD JUNIOR RUGBY UNION VS NSW JUNIOR RUGBY UNION, Under 15's and Under 17s.

The Under 17's kicked off at 3pm, and the Qld side saw plenty of stuff go against them, some very interesting refereeing decisions, and soon found themselves down 11 to nil. NSW seemed to be playing well and the rain was easing.

Some great resolve from this side saw them just fight back, and graft away until eventually the scores closed and then they got in front.

Another tough match with some big hits. The backrow in this side was outstanding, you will all know some of the names, Gerard O'Hare, Luke Beauchamp and Jayden Scheck. these guys are priceless on the ground, and even out wide, with Scheck finishing the game at outside centre. Tim Lolbeck was also outstanding when he joined the backrow.

Bermingham and his front row buddies destroyed the NSW scrum, and that destruction continued with the bench front row.

Tries to Seb Roberts, Cayden Matahaere, and a stunner to Gerard O'HAre, while everyone else was thinking about Qld taking the penalty shot at goal, O'Hare tapped and turned himself into a missile just off the ground, and scored a decisive 5 pointer.

Another outstanding effort, another outstanding come from behind effort, to make the trip two from two so far.

Onwards tomorrow to the ACT. Let's hope we can get the boys up after today's massive effort.
