men’s reserve grade semi final. Northern Storm vs. Urunga
The rain has
stopped and the cove was looking great for the first semi final between the
Northern Storm and the Urunga Raiders. The Storm was all over Urunga for the
first 20 to 30 minutes of the game. The ball movement and passing game was a
treat to watch. We had a number of chances to score goals with some great
strikes at goal and 2 dot penalties but it just wasn’t our day .To Urunga’s
credit they played hard and kept us without a goal for the game. Just before
half time a sickening collision between Keiran Clerke and Rob Marshall ended up
with a broken leg to Rob from Urunga. An ambulance had to be called to take him
away to hospital. The Storm team and
club would like to wish you well in your recovery. We as a team know how
passionate these two young men are and I hope they don’t lose that passion due
to a bad accident. I would like to let everybody know the first player to
respond to the accident was Storm Player Brendon Meyers who ran off the field
to organise the ambulance and look for a stretcher even when the lines person
threatened him with a yellow card. Hey Brendon well done mate that has been the
best display of sportsman ship i have seen all year.
The second
half began and our boys just didn’t get back into the rhythm of the game and
Urunga put 3 goals in the Nett closing us out for the first final. Next weekend
we play Urunga again on their turf so lads let’s get them next week we are not
done yet.
No man of
the match this week but best team player goes to John Paul Ndayragige he gave up his spot to play today due to
having to many players. That’s a real team and club man thanks John Paul.
