The students arrived at 10am giving the boys half an hour to warm up and stretch for their game. They had been training off and on for the past four weeks and were keen to finally play.

They started with the young guns on the field leaving some of the more experienced players on the bench.

The first half started with some strong defence from Logan Brownlie and Mitchell Power which lead to the first points from Sam Power with a swift show and go.

Strong runs from Dylan Elton, Mitchell Power and Logan Browlie put them in good field position for the backs. Alex Rosten using his acceleration and skill to cut through Eden’s defence and score.

Blake Stevenson used his speed and cut off some of the Eden players before they had a chance to make ground.

The boys’ defence had a lapse with Eden sneaking in with two tries before half time. 

In the second half the boys showed some solid defence.  

Dylan Elton had some great runs making good metres, with one finding the line.  

Alex Rosten supporting another one of Mitchell’s great runs led to another try.

One of Logan’s tries came from speed and fending off, leading him around the wingers and under posts for a 60-metre try.

Mixing up Bombala positions led to Reagan Hurley back in dummy half pushing Charlie Peisley to half back.

The other of Logan’s tries was a bit easier as he was first receiver and had only to take a couple of steps to fall over the line.

Francis’s second try came from a set play, utilising Bombala’s numbers and speed.  Final score 36-8.
