Oakhill 1st XV 17 - 40 Shore 1st XV
A unique spectacle for Schoolboy footy tonight as these two played under lights at North Sydney Oval.
Shore showed their muscle in the first 5 minutes through their cohesive and go-forward play. This led to two tries in the first 15 minutes giving them a 14-0 advantage. Similarly to the Riverview game Oakhill was able to bounce back quickly although down a man (yellow carded) with a try in the corner through some swift ball movement from the backs.
Although that was just about where the fun ended for Oakhill. The game grew into a good contest for all of 5 minutes before Shore started to flex their muscles, earning multiple penalties, surging them towards Oakhill’s line
Half time Shore 28-5 Oakhill.
From half time on the game never really grew into a contest with Oakhill losing at the breakdown, backed up by Shore’s fluent backline. Before you knew it the score was out to 40-10, with Oakhill scoring their final try as the full time bell went.
All in all a great night of Schoolboy footy (credit to the Shore boys with some really good chants), with Shore taking the choccies and maybe cementing themselves as the favourite for that GPS title. As for Oakhill, it’ll have to be back to the drawing board, who couldn’t execute in the wet.
MM OUT.
