We faced a tough opposition and knew we would have to play well. We had one win and a loss to St John’s earlier in the season. Playing on the St Paul’s no 1 field was an honour, but we knew we would have to defend well out wide.
Our forwards dominated early play. St John’s, however, was the first to score after a good break in the midfield, finished off by their winger. We came back strongly and scored three tries by half time.
After half time St John’s scored again and the score was 24 -19. We scored one more try to win 29-19.
Our tries were scored by Drew Gordon (2), Rahul Manohan, Alex Johnson, and Charlie Crawford.
It was a tough battle but the boys played their best game of the season. The boys played with passion for each other and their school, making us all very proud.
Player of the day was the whole team for their great performance.
St Paul’s have now won the competition three years in a row after having to wait for a long time for the first one.
