Marr College Vs Kelvinside Academy

Marr College welcomed Kelvinside Academy to the playing fields for their first fixture against each other. Marr had been hard pushed to field a team during the week, with 9 players unavailable due to injuries or holidays. Marr began the match with several players out of position under the rallying call from Captain to work hard for each other. It was not long before the captains words were tested when Kelvinside broke through to score the first try of the match. Marr reacted quickly, and earned a well worked try by building phase after phase of play to let (HH) hand off and finish a good team try. This was quickly followed by some excellent interplay between the two Marr centres to set (AR) free to score under the posts. Kelvinside sought out an equaliser through forward play, however some excellent play, game management by (HB) and some outstanding 1v1 try saving tackles by (CG) brought the half to a close.
