Mudchooks Lose To Boorowa
[ Saturday, 30 July 2011 ]

The Mudchooks lost their third game in a row to a highly committed and motivated Boorowa team at Boorowa last Saturday. Both teams scored a converted try each, but Boorowa was able to kick three penalty goals to win the game 16-7.

Despite the Mudchooks scrum totally dominating their opponents, and the Mudchooks forwards showing a big improvement in their work at the breakdown, the Mudchooks did not make the best use of their possession and allowed too many turnovers from dropped passes in the back line and ineffective kicks straight to the opposition.

The Boorowa boys took advantage of the Mudchooks’ mistakes and ran the ball back at them time and again, forcing the Mudchooks to spend most of the first 50 minutes of the game in hard fought defence. It was only in the last twenty minutes that the Mudchooks started to get on top of their opposition, but it was too late with their only try being scored right on full time.

Tymlock three points and Botham Fencing coach’s award went to Morne Ferreira who played a great tight forward’s game. Bungendore Rural Services two points went to Eddie Mitford-Burgess and Royal Hotel one point went to Jason Brodrick. The Mudchicks gave their vote to Woody Fraser for another big game leading from the front.

The Mudchooks’ last home game for the season is against Taralga on 6 August with a 2:30pm kickoff. This will be a big day of rugby with the Queanbeyan Junior Whites Rugby Club playing four games before the Mudchooks starting at 9:30am.
