As the sun went down over St. Mary's Stadium in Western Sydney on Saturday afternoon it also brought the conclusion to the tour for the St. Helens Academy rugby League squad. ( & familes)
THe final game of their 2009 Australian Tour was against the Penrith Panthers u 17 development squad and it was a beauty with the St. Helens boys scoring first when winger Adam tatlock got around dense traffic to nudge over in the corner.
Sione Alone was on the end of some typical running footy from the Panthers to level the scores at 4 all as the teams went in for a well deserved half time break.
Both teams came out with renewed vigour and it was on in the forwards when the St. Helens forwards tried to contain their opponents, after a long tussle in the middle of the pitch, St. Helens winger Adam Tatlock scored again, Tom Johnson converted with a kick that dropped over the crossbar by millimeters.
St. Helens were in again thanks to Skipper Carl Forster scored the try of the tour from 15 or so meters, he twisted and turned through 3 or 4 different tackles and found him self with in diving distance to the line and got the ball down at the base of the goal post to the delight of his team mates, Forster had no trouble converting the try from in front.
Reece Reagan, the Panthers hooker ran on a good pass and scored with only a few minutes to go.
Last nights game against the Penrith Panthers was the 4 th game of the St. Helens Academy Tour this year, with good wins against the WestTigers, Balmain Tigers and Penrith Panthers under 17's developments squads and only loss was a 32 - 20 hammering by a young and enthusiastic Cronulla Sharks outfit at Shark Park
