The boys were primed and ready for a tough encounter in wet and windy conditions. HBHS made the better start claiming the kick off and were hot on attack. However, St Paul’s scrambling defence kept them at bay for longs periods. Playing with a strong breeze at their back, St Paul’s couldn’t capitalize on the strong wind advantage and only managed a penalty mid- way through the half, to lead 3-0 at half time.
Liam Allen claimed the re start and put St Paul’s straight back onto attack in good field position. St Paul’s eventually scored a try in the corner to Ethan Taylor, after sustained pressured to lead 8-0. However, HBHS weren’t finished and came back with vengeance, almost scoring numerous times.
