Oakhill 1st XV 21 - 12 Riverview 1st XV
In a highly anticipated return to the field after a two-week hiatus for both teams, Oakhill showed that falling behind 7-0 within the first 2 minutes as View capitalised on a catch from their own kickoff, resulting in a close-range try, setting the tone for an intense matchup.
The game took a turn when View secured their second try 20 minutes in, extending their lead to 12-0 with a well-executed chip over the top followed by a swift chase from their outside centre. This seemed to ignite the Oakhill team, prompting a surge in their efforts as they relentlessly pressed into View's territory.
The game's dynamics shifted dramatically when Oakhill intercepted a pass from View's scrum-half, with Sam Polley's decisive play resulting in Oakhill's first points, ending the half at 12-7.
The second half witnessed an intense battle early, with both teams showing their determination. However, Oakhill's forwards were the ones to lift, earning multiple penalties and shifting the game's momentum in their favour. Despite initial line-out struggles, Oakhill's scrums proved effective, allowing Sam Polley’s 8 pick to lead a charge close to the try line. A sequence of swift passes and strong forward play culminated in Jack Taylor Hannify crossing over for Oakhill's second try.
The relentless pressure continued as Oakhill dominated in View's half, ultimately securing their third try through cohesive forward play. It was a commendable performance from both sides, with Oakhill emerging victorious against strong opponents, marking a 2 from 2 record in the season.
Some Oakhill standouts:
- Tom Alloggia (Second Row)
- Ryan Scott (Flanker)
- Sam Polley (Number 8)
- Luke Alderson (Flyhalf)
- Jack Taylor Hannify (Winger) - hasn’t missed a conversion through 2 games
