The last Chief's Cup game was held against St John’s College on Saturday. Conditions were heavy under foot and a few showers early in the game made handling difficult.
After a thirty minute delayed start St Paul's controlled the game well through determined forward play and field position. Aaron Cleland crossed for two first half tries from pick and go plays. Arjun converted and James Hunt finished a late first half attack. St Paul's went into the break 17- 0 ahead.
St Paul's were keen to build on the scrum and lineout dominance gained in the first half. St John’s came back with tenacity closing the gap to a 7 point difference. It was St John’s 10 to St Paul's 17 with 15 minutes left to play.
Late in the game St Paul’s field position improved. After a good forwards and backs combined attack Aaron Crow scored a well worked team try. Back on attack a clever short lineout resulted with Sam Bowley scoring untouched.
Final score St Pauls 27 to St John’s 10.
