Premier Team vs Bishops First Team

After an intimidating game for our Development Team against the Bishops Second Team, it is up to our Premier Team to regain some mana. They are expecting a very physical time. Harry leads a Grammar cheer before the whistle goes. Ben Skeen again notices the lack of pool facilities here: no bar. Hey, it's hot here!

Chukka 1: Narrowly losing the swim off, the game opened with an ejection forced by Peter, and we score. The opposition quickly equalise and then we score again after another ejection. We are finishing the 6 on 5's better. The rest of the quarter passes in a flurry of frantic swimming, a couple of good steals, a solo swim by Jeff, with the score now 4:2 up.

Chukka 2: With the physicality more evenly matched, the game settles down to huge amounts of swimming, not to mention a vast amount of underwater "wrestling". 5:4 up at half time. This is going to be a game of fitness and physical endurance. And Max and Jack get plenty of education. Mayan gets out after less than a minute. The bot is still out there, but he gets an ejection in his brief time in the water.

Chukka 3: Jeff arrives second but wins the ball nonetheless. It's full on for the next 6 minutes with a backhand attempt amongst others from BFN, but no score change. Kurt calls time out and everyone gets their breath back a little. But the ball continues to fly the length of the pool, and both Goalies show their talents. Harry remains icy calm under enormous pressure. A big work rate from Lachie. Still 5:4 up.

Chukka 4: Early on, the referees make a couple of odd decisions, and we get a glimpse of the yellow card. The next flurry of confusion leads to the third ejection for a Bishops player. Some quick goals and great team work see rising scores for both teams. 9:6 with a couple of minutes to go, but nothing seems to slow down. Harry functions like a wall, and TC shows his worth. 10:7 with a minute to go, and despite enormous efforts from both sides, nothing changes. A 10:7 victory over Bishops.
