All square in Graeme-and-Hudson Battle
Graeme College travelled to East London to take on Hudson Park High School and started the game superbly well as they dominated the first 20 minutes of proceedings.
They were relentless as they held onto the ball for long periods of time and launched attack after attack – they were hard done by to have two tries disallowed during this period.
Hudson fought back well and in the last 10 minutes of the half scored two runaway tries whilst Graeme missed two penalties.
Hudson led 12-0 at the break and had the advantage of playing with the wind in the second half.
In the second stanza Graeme College side showed some good character to fight back and score two tries of their own in, one of which was converted, to make the scores 12-12 at the end of the game.
The day was evenly contested as Hudson Park won five matches, Graeme College won four matches, while the first team result ended in a 12-12 draw.
It was a game where Graeme seemed to dominate the first half even though they were down at half time and the 2 nd half was evenly matched. Graeme would’ve thought that they could have and probably should’ve won the match.
