Recap

Reserve grade runs out of juice

In reserve grade, the Goulburn Dirty Twos were less lucky, losing by 29-0.

It sounds a bit irrelevant to mention luck in a 29-0 scoreline, or biased to say that wasn’t a genuine indication of the state of the match, but the result did hang in the balance for the first 50 minutes.

Royals hit a 7-0 lead 10 minutes into the match, and that was still the score forty minutes later.

Goulburn had the edge in the scrum and Royals had the better of lineouts and broken play. The Dirty Twos were poised to equalise at many stages and still seemed a good chance with twenty minutes remaining, but it was Royals that scored next. And then again. And then again. And then again.

In the end it was an emphatic win for Royals.

From a strictly Goulburn point of view, there were many positives to take awy from the performance which should hold them in good stead as the season progresses. But it won’t all fall together on a Saturday if it hasn’t been prepared on Tuesday and Thursday nights.

Best and fairest players were Monty Hicks (3), Jordan Lees (2), John Geroche (1) and Brad Muddiman (1). In his club debut, Hicks also picked up the players player award.

Royals 29 bt Goulburn 0.
