The lineup rules are silly. The 12 forward/defenders sprint back to the half-way line when there’s a bounce 75 metres away.
Now Ponter off with leg injury. And we go forward and Bullas goals!
6-0 we lead.

They get the clearance but Williams and #1 Trend worry it out of them.
Anwyl is back on, and marks at halfback.
Mostly down their end, but we catch them again. Clear but a free plus fifty has them in range for their first score.
Thanks for coverage DJR - I’m interested to see how this goes.

Phew. They miss.
Frees are the only way to get over our backline, it seems.

Umps give free shot on goal to them because we had too few down back at the kickout.

They mark the kickout but put it out on the full.
Two minutes left, their end, 6-8
Umpires now having a set shot from twenty five out.
Someones torched the joint??

Some evacuate to the huddles, some ignore it, others leave.
Having the usual gates closed actually makes this place more of a death trap than usual…
Alarm still sounding. Fire truck arrives on Brunton Avenue.
Game in limbo.
Bronx cheer as the siren stops.
