Paul Roos Gimnasium 1st VS Grey High 1st 2024 (Highlights)

All of us travelled across the country to fulfil this derby this weekend. Activity stretching all the way from squash to tennis. Mountain biking, cross country, hockey and of course what we're all here for today, the rugby clash. Nine A and B rugby players at Grade Junior. Coming out to watch their heroes. We're proud to see all these young men lined up early on, linking hands. Marvellous, made the love for the sport flourish amongst that next generation. All first team representatives in these squads. Zephyr Smith gets himself off to the races here. High hanging kick and that's gone backwards. Norton managed to get his hands on the ground there. Boraine will dig at the base of the strike. Attack the short side here. Steer face. Zephyr Smith without much pressure on him. Has not found touch. Seymour, he's tackled by John Hobson. Boraine, Reid. Sips a beautiful pass to Holwell. Reid gets it back. Phenomenal skill. And Paul Royce will open the scoring here today. Greg Kemp, Pat Kemp. A great try, wonderful work from the Lucet front. Great. And obviously the knock on you'll see led to this interchange for the tight forwards. Lovely offloads in the tackle to give Kemp the opportunity to dot down under the upright. Scrunched and scrappled. Just the foreman in that line out as they set the drive. He's going to try to get the defence organised. Slow ball now for Paul Royce. Inches away. He's a good one. And they get their second try to Paul Royce. I think that's the hooker. Kieran and Reid in support. He's going to turn it over, no? If he sees that ball was out he comes to the side, my friend. Brain taps and goes. Still going. And holding is the call. A moment of good fortune for the host here. Right on the brink of half time. The Paul Royce management will not be happy with that. They should have slowed that down, taken the line out. Possibly get the ball working again. Quick tap and go. Grey were wise to it and got all hands in the rack and got the turnover. I suppose a very fair reflection of an excellent performance from Paul Royce. Into a stiff breeze here. Fortunately he's very well in the first few minutes of the first half. Zita. Nothing on out wide. It's going to have to be the pick and go. And there's Sotlaka. Snuck over has the corner Sotlaka. Finally something for the home crowd to cheer about. Positive carry for Paul Royce. And Dumpy shows it goes. Finds a bit of space. He's well tackled by Maya Prinsloo. Reinfeldt over his own feet. Dumpy's at nine. Reid. Kemps up through. With the hands it goes. And Stoffel scores in the corner. And that should be the game. Cleaners there from Grey. He's not found touch. Maya Prinsloo with one last crack. Beets can see him in the step. Well tackled by Raleigh Norton. Oh dear, standing still. We've got some metres to go here to Grey. Doddler finds Steven Lapprecht. Put behind the advantage line as Paul Royce floods the ruck. Oh, that'll be the game. Oh, that's unfortunate for young de Villiers there. He's had a sterling game. One of the smallest men in the field with the biggest heart. Unlucky to Grey today. Well done to the maroon machine that moves on to next week. There are not many teams left in the country. Paul Royce to watch on.
