Melbourne Under 15 v Newark Sunday April 20 2008

The boys were in excellent form throughout this encounter against a hard working opposition who never gave up at any point despite this.

Tries from Adam Cartwright, Pagey (2) and the Roominator had us off to a flyer. Coupled with two excellent conversions from Jack Fisher this led to us reaching the break 24-0 to the good. Newark started the second half well and indeed got a try back early on only to be put back in their place by two very different tries from Cainy. This was a super all round  performance and  as we approach the end of the season the boys really have shown what they are capable of and have got stronger as the campaign has progressed.

Compliments to Pagey Senior for his refereeing which really was second to None. None has, unfortunately, been struck off the RFU list but if you wish to sign the petition to keep Guy on it you can put your name to the online petition at the following address:  This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it . I am also duty bound to comment upon our new Touch Judge , namely Mr. Topley, whose technique in possession of the rigid and similarly very plastic but exclusive MRFC Standard Issue Touch Judge Flag has already assumed legendary proportions. Even more legendary, however, was the fact that his Mrs Topley ran it with him - what a together couple eh? Puts the rest of us to utter shame eh? Who needs candlelit dinners, weekends away or bunches of flowers when you can run the line with the Old Man?
