With only the one game on the weekend there was a great turn out from everyone to get a game.  We played Roseville again up at Roseville Chase Oval.  The first team was started though a couple of guys like Smurf and Matty V were out injured but also Mike Langley returned from the UK.

Previously this team we had drawn 5-5 against.  The team started well and controlled the ball though couldn’t quite convert the pressure into points - in fact that was the whole first half.  Though it should be said we were playing up hill and against the wind.  There had been much more impact from players not usually as prominent like Jumbo and Kevin Perry but having barnstorming runs and causijng havoc.

But it was in the second half that things started to open up with a brilliant run by Charles G off a pop from Levi to run through at least 4-5 defenders.  Conversion missed.  Roseville came back though a move started in our half by! Levi, Charles, Junrey and Sam Chesterman finishing in the right hand corner - that was one of the best tries Convicts have scored…support play, fending and pure speed were amazing.   The last try was scored by Damien in the left hand corner after some brilliant lead up work by the forwards.

The game was typical in that the forwards laid some great ground work for the backs to create the line breaks and finish off the moves.  Guys this was a brilliant game where everyone from 1-15 played well and did their job.
