GHK VS LOCH LOMOND
Posted: 20/Feb/07
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nice sunny day in Bonhill and the pitch was in pretty good condition so we had the ingredients for a decent game.

Regretfully the first half was pretty dull with an early spell of aimless kicking from both sides followed by a failed penalty attempt by Loch Lomond. Loch Lomond certainly had the better of the early exchanges and eventually took the lead when their hooker raced down the left wing to score a converted try under the posts.

Bill Criggie slotted a penalty to reduce the deficit following an offside offence. However the gap was reinstated when Loch Lomond slotted a penalty against GHK for diving over at a ruck.

Half time 10-3

John Shannon replaced Bill at half time at stand off and missed his first penalty attempt. The back line was now starting to move a bit better and a period of sustained pressure was well defended by Loch Lomond. Shortly after James Small finished off a nice break to score an unconverted try in the right corner. GHK then took the lead following another unconverted try by David White again in the right hand corner.

At this stage the game got a bit tousy culminating in the Loch Lomond no 12 being red carded for a spear tackle on Danny Hoffman.

Final score was a penalty by John Shannon

Amendmuent to previous report . Bill Criggie has pointed ot that he actually scored a try against Uddingston and not John Shannon which at least goes to prove that at least one person read the report !!!!
