In the second of the grading games, St Paul's Development XV competed against Fraser 1st XV on Saturday. Building from the previous weeks performance, the St Paul's team established early dominance with a well executed team try finished off by Ryan Ballantyne. Ryan scored again on the stroke of half time to give us a lead of 18 - 7 going into the second half.
The second half saw the Fraser team regularly testing our defense and allowed the St Paul's men an opportunity to showcase their 'guts'. Ryan Ballantyne completed his hat trick of tries and earned himself the player of the day award. Final score was 25 - 14 in our favour. Mention must be made of the excellent kicking displayed by Dean Fullerton with two 40 metre penalties.
