YEAR 10 BATTLE THROUGH
THE RAIN
The year 10 boy’s
rugby team played their first fixtures of the season against a well drilled
side from Brine Lees and a novice side from Ruskin. It was no surprise that the
first game vs Brine Lees was a low scoring game, with both teams dominating in
different areas of the park, CHS showed excellence when going forward with powerful running from
Oscar Neeves and Robert Kirkwood but Brine Lees were showing greater skill in the
ruck, as well as scoring the first try with some poor tackling from CHS. CHS came back
strongly with their own score from Neeves, however the surge that promised came
more from the rain rather than the scores. Brine Lees scored again through poor
tackling, but this only spurred more of CHS’ boys to step up to the mark with
some great lines and running from deep, Josh Kneeshaw going over for a well
deserved equaliser. CHS started to dominate at this point but as the rain
started to get more prominent, the game became a stalemate of handling errors
and scrums.
So into the second game. A complete alter ego shown from CHS, from
the kick-off, the boys dominated every area, only a couple of well timed
tackles saved Ruskin from a greater score line. CHS went over for at least 9
trys the best coming from the wings. Notable praise deserved for all the team
through the style of play; keeping the ball alive and making good decisions,
but especially Kyle Johnson for selflessly offering to play for Brine Lees for
the game. CHS came out overall winner by one try. Onward to Tuesday and getting
down to training to build on the success of today.
