Results - Week 18.2008 - Finals

Monday, 18 August 2008

Despite brave and competitive efforts from our finalists, unfortunately all three Penshurst RSL teams were defeated over the weekend.  On Saturday, the u12s started very well, opening up a 10-0 lead with some enterprising play. Unfortunately, some errors creeped into our play, of which the much bigger opposition took advantage. Our u12s eventually bowing out 10-24. On Sunday, the u14s led 6-4 early in the game before struggling to overcome a number of hurdles, incuding a string of penalties, 2 sin-binnings and a disallowed try. The boys continued to battle valiantly before eventually succumbing 12-34. And in the Minor Semi-Final of the Cronulla competition, our u21s bowed out 4-16. Again our boys started well, opening the scoring with an impressive try. However, as the game wore on, we were unable to sustain any pressure on the opposition who controlled the ball and the play better than we were able. And then there was one - Penshurst RSL's only team left standing is the u11 Golds who will be contesting the B garde Grand Final this Saturday, 23rd August, 11.30am at Hurstville Oval. A big crowd of Pensurst RSL supporters is expected to cheer on the boys.
