FANTASTIC!!!!
Now win the thing!
It was truly a “Magic Moment”
The guys played like demons.
I would say that 95% of the game was dominated by Shaw.
It should never have come to “a last move decider”
But wow!!!
“What a gutsy kick that was”
This game, “I think” was the best rugby game I have ever watched,
and it was gratifying to see every player on the field and those on the side line giving their very best.
It was unbelievably awesome!!!!
Congratulations to every person on the SLS team and
Special thanks to Tim, Jeff, Mike and Gerry for all the effort, the caring, and attention.
And final thanks to our headmaster Mr Robertson
Not only for being here
But also
For “not missing” this special moment
Mr. Robertson could very well be the lucky charm!
Is there any chance of getting some pictures of the match so I can put them on CTV News tonight. Please email me
