Does anyone have a detailed report from the Shore vs View game. Sounds like a cracker, I was out at at Stanmore.
Any stand-out players seen?
Sidesy
Great game, Shore 10's kicking game was unstoppable again with a 40m field goal before halftime to go up by 3. Shore captain Jackson stiel was a standout again scoring 2 tries and having 1 disallowed. Shore 15's speed was too much for view defence at times.

The game was back and forth with shore scoring first through number 1 of a nice short ball.

Shore attacked the blindside with a great run from number 11 to get them in a good position. Number 1 burrowed over from a pick and go. Very strong player.

Another sweet blindside play saw number 12 make a break and put a perfectly weighted kick for number 15 to chase and grab his 2nd of the afternoon.

A strong run from view number 12 somehow found his way to the line through a sea of dark blue jerseys to bring view back into the game.

Shore get a penalty goal from 38m out with a nice strike from shore number 9 who was great on the boot all day.
32-22 Shore
Quick tap from View number 10 gets good metres for eventually a great run breaking some tackles before a hit and spin the crash over. View number 12 grabs the ball and takes a quick drop goal conversion.
32-29 Shore
Shore had a scrum in the last minute where number 15 kicked the ball dead. View number 10 ran to the 22 and attempted a short drop out where he was tackled and lost the ball.
Shore kicked the ball out and the celebrations and field raid began from all the old boys and students celebrating Shores first 1st XV win in 6 years.
Final Shore 32 - View 29
Great overall game of footy. Shore were fired up to bounce back off a disappointing loss last week.
