So a few seconds before half time in Cranbrook v Trinity, Trinity 5 hit Cranbrook 2 Johann Ah Colt with a high no-arms tackle. I didn't have a very clear view, but the referee awarded a red card and that seemed right. The trouble is that Ah Colt stayed down. There are fears of a serious injury. As he couldn't be moved, the game was called off at that point.

Let's just hope he's OK.

Nothing else on the night really matters, but for completeness: Trinity led 26-5 at that point, four tries to one. Their lineout looks better than a Trinity lineout has for years. Cranbrook had the better of the scrums, I thought. Trinity was marginally better at the breakdown. Cranbrook looked rusty and fumbled the ball a lot. Cranbrook 3 Levi Funa was a handful and made yards every time he got the ball.

No program, and I don't know many names. Cranbrook 13 Taj Aufai is a massive specimen, but didn't ever get the ball with space to move.

As for Trinity: they have pace. The strategy was basically to get the ball to the wingers and watch them run round everyone. Cranbrook were burned on the outside time after time - it was 26-0 after about 20 minutes. Not sure who the 11 and 14 were, but they are rapid.

Trinity won the 16As by a lot and won 2nds 12-10, with Cranbrook missing a conversion after the bell that would have tied things up.

Anyway. A big crowd at Woollahra started to leave as the ambulance started to arrive. Not the way anyone wants the night to end and let's hope the injury is not too serious.

I do hope Johann Ah Colt is okay, I believe he is only just returning from an injury last season and is a talented player who would be hoping for a big season this year.

All thoughts with Johann, he is a great hooker who I’m sure would have gotten through to u16s sides last year

Heard that Johann is OK. Was discharged from hospital with whiplash and a concussion. Should see him back in a matter of weeks. Very lucky it wasnt anything worse with what looked to be an illegal hit from the trinity number 5. Will we see further judicial action or leave it at a red card? Apart from that, looked to be shaping up as a good game, trinity exploded out of the blocks while cranbrook pulled it back it through the later stages of the first half using there size through the middle. Levi Funa proved quite a task through the middle bumping off defenders while the trinity wings were on fire, scoring most of there trys. Will be interesting to see how cranbrooks outside backs defend with their winger Ethan Sakar coming back from injury in a week or 2. Enjoy your CAS footy

Good news on Ah Kolt. I don’t know how suspensions work in non-competition games but the old practice was that a red card meant a week off.

My spies at Hunters Hill report that Joeys were convincing winners in the 2nds. 31/12. Joeys outside backs are having a great day with speed to burn.
