Bowral Match Report

Last Saturday we travelled up the hill to Bowral. It was bitterly cold in the highlands and the wind was going to be a factor in the game, as it was against Tech.

Second grade started off poorly with a penalty try (yellow card) to Bowral for a high tackle from Shamies. Bowral then proceeded to make use of the extra man and put on two more tries. Going into the second half of the game Bowral continued to put on points building to 35 to nil before Shamies started to get things together, scoring two converted tries.
