Under 12's Round 5 v Orara
With this game being the last game of the first round, the boys were keen to continue there great start to the season.
Again the boys started with a bang with some solid defence we got early ball which meant after some big charges from again Josh Stuart, Darcy Fitzgerald and captain Jordan Welsh, the ball was spread wide by Jack Cleversley into the hands of our attacking weapon Liam Cuffe who raced past defenders like they were standing still to cross for his first try. After the restart Orara were making some good metres but with Taejarn Swan, Brayth Ledger and Nate Pike defending well on the edges shut down any chance of them crossing. With the ball back in Bowra' s hands it was not long before Liam had it in his and crossing the line for his second try. Orara had the restart again and made the most of some lazy defence and crossed out wide with a good try which took the score to 10 - 4. Bowra would only have time for one set before halftime and took full advantage with some good lead up runs by Josh Willer, Lachlan Johnson, Zander Bonnet and Jack Nash it was again given to Liam to finish off with another try under the posts. So halftime score would read Bowra ahead 14 - 4.
The second half would see a more determine Orara side so it's was a good arm wrestle with Orara to cross first to take the score to 14 - 8. The Bowra boys were again in some good attacking positions which almost lead to a try to Symon Gleeson who was only millimetres short, but Orara were able to hold them out. Bowra was back on the defence and again some strong tackling from Jake Duckett and Brayden Luffman saw Bowra get the ball back and within 2 tackles back in Liam's little hands which he had to fight off 3 defenders to race 20 metres before a good offload to Brayth Ledger for this first try of the year right on fulltime. The final score Bowra 20 - 8. Again with a great effort off the bench Jake Lowick and Ethan Williams tackled and run the ball strongly. Another great win for the boys to go into the week off with.
