Despite a few drops of rain in the morning and a long travelling trip all the way to Tai Po, but that does not ruin our moods , as we approach the 3rd and final encounter with Gai Wu this season.

The last 2 games we played against them were relax and relative easy within the division. Their boys have sharpened their skills throughout the season and brought some great performances into this game. First half of the game we were able to dominate them in the overall game play leading by 3 trys. Special mention Kelvin , who saw an opportunity at a ruck break down. Picked up the ball off ruck and landed a 5 on the blindside completely caught the Gai Wu off guard.

In the 2nd half of the match, the game turned much more intense. There were a few occasions where they broke through the middle of our defence line. With Bobby off the pitch at the end of the 1st half due to injury, it gave us some very challenging times. As time passing by, Gai Wu slowly catching up to us in terms of score. Fortunately, they ran out of catch-up time. Very intense 2nd half for the boys, but its exactly what we need in preparing for the upcoming games as we are heading towards the end of the season.

Final score: 26-17 Win

Try scores: Kelvin W, Max, Wes, Wyman
MOM: Kelvin W. Great control of the game flow, and good observation of where the spaces are to take advantage.
DOD: Max once again trying out some reckless basketball pass and try avoidance.
Potential DOD: Fai Jai: Showing up with a pack of Blue Girls
