last match of U20 youth league

venue: YCK Stadium
Match: Police SA vs Blacks RFC
my position: fullback

Golly, didn't even feel like playing, was sleeping all the way from Buena Vista to YCK in the train, bcoz i was stupid to have watched a stupid match between Italy and Sweden at 3am.

Thought that i was late, but the match got a bit postponed bcoz Blacks didn't bring their jerseys, so had to wait and wait, til the match was called off, we got a walkover. Nvm, since we were all there, might as well play.

So we played, and quite easily we dominated the match. Our forward pack was instrumental as they won almost every single ruck. From a left-field lineout, we swung the ball wide, using Mahadi as a dummy crasher. After 2 draw and pass, the ball reached me, inside the opponent 22m area, and quite easily tucked the ball in and headed for the try line, despite close attention by the opposit fullback. haha, my first ever try of this league! Yay. Gus converted the kick.

After that, our superb rucking and offloading won us many balls, which we chose to run and found many holes in the opponent's porous backline.

Soon in the second half, we got a scrum in the opponent's 22m area. Gus called for a double dummy straight to fullback and that move totally left the opponent dumbfounded. As Zainul skipped through the 2 dummies, I latched onto the ball flat-on, and sprinted to the empty try line. Haha, my second try of the game. Yay! After that, some more of our guys notched points in as Gus continued to show an impressive boot.

That was quite something, coz the day started with me not even having any feeling of playing. Nvm, played as well as I could, then watched a bit of the CombinedSchs vs Safsa match, which honestly was quite a bore. Pravin was unlucky with his second kick as it hit the post. Good try mate. Dunno whether i wanna play in the Police Inter-Division Sevens or the National Inter-Club League. Coz I'd rather play soccer!

2 tries baby
