Seasonal Rugby Cup Round 1: Spartans vs Cheetahs

Update: 80 mins
AJ Izzett has made a wobbly throw that McDougal has taken out the air. Turnover for the Cheetahs. They form a maul and make good ground. MCDOUGAL HAS TAKEN THAT OVER THE LINE FROM THE MAUL! THE CROWD GO WILD! King cannot convert it and the score is 12-10 to the Cheetahs. Luffman pelts it back to the half way and wants this win badly, you can see it in his eyes. He puts a reverse kick in that goes to Devonshire. Who gets destroyed by M Deane on the charge. The Cheetahs set up well and King smashes the ball out again. The Cheetahs are playing the territory game here. AJ Izett makes a solid throw which HT Davis claims at the front. He pops it back quickly and Hornby makes a charge. He is taken down straight away by MJ Edwards. Storer and Masters quickly ruck over and have successfully turned the ball over. They have shipped the ball back to King who has kicked the ball right into the Cheetahs half. It has rolled into touch. Izett makes another good throw which has gone to JE McGrath and he has formed the maul. The Spartans drive and drive until Hornby decided to get the ball out. ORR HAS DUMMIED TO BORISC AND GIVEN THE BALL TO BOY BLUNDER WHO CAME SPRINTING UP HIS INSIDE! BLUNDER HAS SCORED FOR THE SPARTANS! WITH ONLY 2 MINUTES TO GO, THAT COULD BE THE MATCH WINNING TRY FOR THE SPARTANS! Luffman converts the try and makes it 17-12 to the Spartans. The ref has signalled last play and there is nothing the Cheetahs can do. They play a reverse kick to try and regain possession but fail and Eggman has just kicked it out. The final score is 17-12. What a match this has been. The man of the match award goes to the president of the losing club, J McDougal for a fine performance in open play and in the lineout.
