Greenies Bring Home the Win and the Man Flu!

Gavin Sisson29 Mar 2013 - 11:07

A wet, cold day out at Tranent with an ice cold wind made harsh conditions for some fast flowing rugby....

The greenies started the game off with some great off loading and strong attacking play in the first half of this game.

Ross High barely touched the ball in this half as Forrester's continuity took control and gained the yards.

Forrester being their own enemy, with unforced errors turning over the ball. A strong defence and hard work rate seen the Greenies take the ball back.

Penalties missed by both teams kept the scoreboard empty until 24 minutes in when PJ Crolla crossed the line for the first score, the conversion missed.

Mark Wyper looked to warm up and get involved as he swapped with Calum Aitken after the score.

At half time Dave Allan swapped will Callum to warm back up, the wind really cold now! And Lucas Buxton coming on for Carl Trahms.

The second half seen Ross High switch on and controlling a lot more of the ball. However a great turnover and some phase play seen Sean Broadfoot pick and score, with the conversion missed.

Ross High working hard to keep the ball seen a lot more play in the middle of the park.

After a scuffle started on the side of the pitch, Ross High seemed more interested in that rather than defend the line which enabled Ewan Brodie cross the line from 30 metres out.... after 4 hand offs and 3 guys hanging off him...

Neil Robertson converted the try.

Sean Broadfoot took to the bench with a dead cheek which seen Daniel ‘spoogy’ Marr slot in at number 9.....yes number 9.

With a few penalties given away, Forrester spent the last 5 minutes of the game defending their try line with Ross High eventually crossing the line for an uncoverted try 78 minutes into the game.

The last play was set and the ball kicked out for the Mighty Greens to bring home the win.

Man of the Match went to Garry Smith
