Bishop Game (Development Team)

After the most amazing morning being shown around Langa, a black township. The boys are now playing their games against Bishops.

As with previous days Dev team up first. Here in SA they call the quarters chukkas - as they do in polo

Chukka 1: Not a great start. Boys looking a little unsettled and down 0-4 at the end.
Chukka 2: A couple of great blocks and some better defence helped in this chukka. Nick Godfrey is playing well and the blocks belong to Mac. 0-7 at end of chukka.
Chukka 3: A very interesting 7 minutes. Our boys scored 2 goals here. The first happened amidst a great deal of confusion, when Wyatt and Akira between them put the ball home while all else were swimming in the opposite direction. Then, after an ejection for brutality, Reuben P scored with the resultant 5 metre. The opposition are now forced to play a man down for the rest of the game. 9:2 down.
Chukka 4: playing 6 against 5 as the chukka opens does even things up. In goal, Nick has some of the intensity off him now, and the rest of the team are swimming more. The opposition are bigger and more physical than our boys and perhaps the referee decisions suit that. A bit more mongrel is called for and Akira delivers. Kurt cheers. By full time, our guys can see what is needed, but can't deliver in the face of an overwhelming opposition. Final score was 12:4.
