CHS XV V ISA XV
Trials 18th June
I only got to see the 2nd half of the CHS V ISA game but from I saw I can genuinely say the standard of rugby was excellent, with both teams going hard out. It was however the last quarter, that made for some really exciting rugby.
The CHS boys not dropping their heads despite being down 36 -17 with 12 mins to go, the atmosphere of the crowd seemingly resigned to the fact the chances of CHS coming back now would take nothing but magic! and boy! did magic come their way!
2 tries, ( 2 conversions) within 7 mins bringing the score to 31-36 with 5 mins to go then came try number 5 with #12 Walton flying over the chalk in the corner evening the score 36 - 36.
No conversion.
With 2 minutes left on the clock CHS attacking on ISA 10m line bringing us to the final touch of magic with barely 10 seconds to go, #7 Turner (c) gestured to full back Patterson to stay in the pocket, within a nano second, scrum half Pomare sent a bullet pass straight to the waiting hands of Patterson who with perfect precision, drop kicked the ball and sent it soaring through the sticks, securing the win of the day! Wow, the whole stadium erupted with shouts and applause almost drowning out the refs final whistle of the game.
