U15 Match Report V Paraparaumu college

On the 27th July the Whitgift U15 tean played Paraparaumu college. It was a fine day with good conditions and Whitgift got of to a bad start with Paraparaumu getting two penalties. But through grit and determination Whitgift came back with a try from Greg Westcott but Matt Clarke convert. But Whigift discipline let us down again and the opponents kicker converted it makeing the score 9-5. But out on nothing Fritz Kirchner started an amazing run through the paraparaumu team and scored the best try on the match so-far Matt Clarke converted. Then the oppositons disipline let the down and whigift got two more penalties which Matt clarke converted makeing the score 9-18 to whitgifts favor ,but the home team did not give up and scored again to set up a good second half for all spectators.

But unfortunatly the Paraparaumu team pulled themselves together and they seemed to keep on scoring allthough a pitchlong chase from George Smith stopped the opponents from scoring.
whitgift eventualy lost 26-20. whigift have alot to work on and we should try to think of the positives ,which will help us in our games in the south island.
