Rain is no problems for the Seccernaut

Round 13 Winter - Seccers 5 Cruciates 2


Someone will have to fill in the details of the first half as I rocked up a bit late.


The boys did it tough with no subs, then 1 and finally 2 for the second half. The half time score was 1-0 to the good guys in the constant rain.


After the break we were denied a certain try when the wee lass of a referee forgot the 5m rule as the lazy defender was minced meat. And then the Soulmann had a little implosion as he put on a dolly 2 handed touch which was fell into the trap as the opposition acted it up well and sucked in the penalty, which ended up resulting in a soft try down the wing on the following play. Scores 1-1 and the opposition had a sniff.


But the Seccers were soon back in control with some nice backline moves and opened up a 2 try lead with some good hands by the JJ Buckstar, Andy Shleck, X-man and the rest. Grimmo's hammy looked on the mend, although it might be still a bit shorter than the other, as he mistimed his run for a possible try down the blind side and ended up going in circles. And Psycho and Haydos were at it again, but they couldn't quite nail the try after more of their fancy duo work. Woody MoiMoi was his usual self, but he appeared to be more interested in flirting with our first female ref of the season (note, she said she was going to tell his missus, who she knew apparently). She actually ref'd quite well and handled the gibber calmly and rejected the MoiMoi's advances with the correct penalties.


Another soft try to Cruciates, simply marking up incorrectly by us, gave them another sniff and 3-2, but more sweet Seccers backline play had them again on the ropes with 2 more scores and the game secured at 5-2


It was a hard fought victory. Excellent hands despite the weather. But no beers as the damp began to rise and people headed for home.


Last round game next week, and then the semi finals!
