Slick St George Year 10 rugby St George 29-7 Henry Beaufort ‘Are you ready to see some posh kids from Winchester be smashed?’ were the words of one of the St George players before they started their final match of the season earlier this half term. Despite already having won the league with a 100% record, St George came into this match looking for the grand slam. In the end, it was a well fought match that was won through moments of individual quality, good passages of play, and a lack of conviction at the crucial moment. St George started the match on the front foot, as they took the game to Henry Beaufort. Winning a scrum early on gave Dynel Simeu the space and time to drive straight through the heart of the opposition’s defence, which resulted in a try for St George inside the first three minutes. However, Louis Alford failed to convert from a hard kicking position. 5-0 St George. After their good start, St George continued to press Henry Beaufort, getting the ball back inside Henry Beaufort’s twenty-two. After some valiant defending, St George broke through again, this time with a drive from Ash Chirima. Louis Alford made the kick, too. 12- 0, with only 10 minutes gone. However, after St George’s second try, Henry Beaufort began to buck up their ideas, with a spell of possession in the St George twenty- two. St George managed to hold on for a while, until Henry Beaufort finally made their pressure count with a try and conversion with 7 minutes to go until halftime. For the remainder of the half, Henry Beaufort continued to press, looking for another try. A couple of missed tackles gave them a chance at a second try, but some disappointing knock-ons kept the score in favour of St George at halftime. The second half started off very cagey, with both sides seeming unwilling to commit themselves fully in attack. They both had small half chances, but nothing very exciting. St George then started to press a bit more. Dan Bonavia picked up the ball inside his own half, and through a mixture of determination and skill, dragged himself over the line to make a great try. The subsequent kick was hard, though, so the score was 17-7. St George continued to press, and this resulted in another try from Dynel, only two minutes after the previous one. This time the kick was made, leaving the score at 24-7. Henry Beaufort tried to come back with another try, but they were no match for the rampaging St George who, after a good passage of play, killed the game from a try from Sam Tonks. The final whistle blew soon after, leaving the score at St George 29-7 Henry Beaufort. Report by Jon Insley
