After a wet and windy end to the week, Ian Galloway delivered a great setting for rugby, even if the ground was a little soft underfoot. Conditions called for teamwork, resilience, and a willingness from everyone to get stuck in—and both sides delivered.
The Panthers made an energetic start and were rewarded with the opening try. The OBU West Roosters responded well, showing growing confidence with ball in hand to level the score at 5–5 by halftime. It was a tightly contested first spell, with both teams showing positive intent across the park.
The second half saw the OBU West Roosters try a few positional changes, offering players the chance to experience different roles and contribute in new ways. The adjustments worked well, opening opportunities and encouraging strong teamwork right across the squad. It remained a spirited and even contest, with both teams’ displaying determination, sportsmanship, and developing skills.
The OBU West Roosters finished strongly, but just as importantly, every player contributed to a match played in great spirit. Matches like this highlight the enjoyment, inclusiveness, and shared learning that rugby is all about.
Overall, a fantastic morning of rugby, with both teams showing what makes the game so enjoyable: teamwork, respect, and the chance for everyone to be involved.
