Match Report

This was exactly as expected ... a clash of styles, city vs country. The only point really worthy of note was NSW being awarded 3 penalty strokes in the one match.

It took NSW almost 20 minutes to break down the WAC defense, when Ben Howey drove into the circle and slammed home a field goal to open his account at these championships. 7 minutes later, NSW were awarded their first penalty stroke, and Mr Dependable, Stuart Fletcher fired it home to send NSW into the break 2-0 up.

Mid-way through the 3rd quarter another ugly tackle from WAC saw NSW awarded their second penalty stroke, and everyone was incredibly disheartened to watch it rebound off the post. A few minutes later, instead of cruising with a 3-0, NSW found themselves under pressure when Phillip Johnson drove home a goal after a defensive error by NSW.

At this point, both teams discipline slipped and the umpires responded by issuing several cards for dissent and poor tackles.

Alex Jones completed the scoring from the penalty spot, converting NSW's third penalty stroke, again the result of a poor tackle.

Monday is a rest day for the 40's division. NSW play QLD/2 on Tuesday morning.
