Update - 5th minute:It’s early going here and so far it has been end to end stuff. The ball is in the Hawks possession on 3rd tackle, 30 metres out from their own line. Big Peter Retzel receives the ball now for his 2nd hitup in the set, he gets taken down 35 metres out. He plays the ball, NO, PENALTY! The first penalty of the game comes to the Hawks as Farhat has been deemed to have his hand on the ball. The first attacking opportunity will be for the Hawks. Taylor kicks it down field and gets it to the Cyclones 35 metre zone. The ball is tapped and given to Taylor who charges forward. 1st tackle, comes back to Wilson who throws it to Denton, who throws it back to Gayler who dummies, and shifts the ball to Gemmell who takes a settler 25 metres out. Wilson gets the ball from dummy half, GOES HIMSELF, catches the markers offside! Gets 10 metres and is taken down! 3rd tackle, the ball comes to Retzel who gives it to Gayler and shifts it to Vago, they have numbers here, the ball comes to webber, HE STEPS INSIDE, BEATS THE DEFENDER, GETS TO THE TRY LINE, HELD UP!!! NO HE THROWS A MIRACLE BALL TO GAYLER, GAYLER WILL SCORE! GAYLER SCORES THE TRY!! The crowd go up in excitement and the Hawks have their first try of the season and the night! Great offload by Webber to set up that one. Hawks lead 4-0 with a kick to come. Shriram to take his first goal kick of his career, just beside the left hand upright. He hits it well, it goes over the black dot. A good start by the hawks here, they lead 6-0.
Site being down for 5 minutes probably didn't help. Anyway, bad start for the Cyclones. Barracking for them because a) I'm an ex-player b) I basically named the lineup
I am stopping the simming as there hardly any players of these two teams on and there are cricsim games being simmed atm. Play will continue hopefully sometime tonight.
