TCTV : Tamaki College : Pre Season 1st 15 match v MAGS

TCTV went out to Mount Albert Grammar to watch the preseason match...

The report is written by 1st 15 assistant coach, Mr. Tindling.

The Tamaki College 1^st XV travelled out to MAGS on the first Wednesday of the holidays for a preseason fixture. The day was windy and Tamaki started with the advantage. MAGS started the better of the two teams and scored three early tries out wide. At 17-0 Tamaki entered the MAGS 22 for the first time and scored a well taken try through James Mata. At 17-5 Tamaki were right back in the game but a late try right in the final minute of the first half put the score out to 22-5.

Tamaki started the second half much better than the first and dominated possession and territory and were rewarded with a well taken try to Grady Hunt of a flick pass from his brother Jack. Tamaki continued to dominate possession but wayward passes lead to MAGS scoring two more tries on counterattack. The final score MAGS 32-12. A good hit out for the Tamaki boys against last years 1A champions and with a number of senior Tamaki boys being rested it showed we are not to far off it.
