U18 Div I final at CanberraStadium tonight. Plenty of fans and banter between the two rivals. Marist started vey well and then Eddies turned up the heat in attack through their hard running winger.
Eddies scored the next 3 tries to go up 29-10.
Then in the 2nd half some argy bargy broke out after a late-ish hit (nothing in it), but then there was two players holding each others jerseys throwing hail marys, and the scuffles broke out all over the park.
My mates son was trying to stop four of his own team mates from going to town on one Marist player. He got a yellow for his trobles. Two other players got red carded and another yellow, so the refs called it off.
Eddies won on the scoreboard well and truely, but it was a sour taste left in the mouth of most fans.
