St. Patrick’s Day 2007 was certainly a day that the Newtown Jets played like a team of leprechaun's.
Copious amounts of VB was needed in order to sustain the mediocre Premier League match against St George-Illawarra, the Jets through the luck of the Irish grabbed a last-minute 32-all draw after having trailed the Dragons 22-0 in the first half.
In what can only be described as a stirring half time announcement, the ground announcer interviewed Marrickville MP and NSW Education Minister Carmel Tebbutt, stating the fact that all true red blooded male Newtown supporters should give her there vote as she is a good sort. then came the announcement to the very receptive crowd that the Iemma Labor Government would be making a $250,000 grant toward the resurfacing of Henson Park.
On the Rugby League field, Newtown looked and played like typical Irish men for most of a dismal first half in which the Dragons had the greater share of possession and more momentum.
St George punished Newtown’s fragile defence, poor game plan and lack of ball control by running up 22 un-answered points with in the first 30 minutes of play, the Jets struck back with two late converted tries and went to the break trailing by 22-12.
The Dragons started the second half in similar fashion to that of there first half performance and regained control of the match when they added another converted try early in the second half. lack of support to up and comer Shaun Foley by Newtowns prized signing, winger Aaron Lai was a low point in a pretty ordinary display.
As time looked to be running out for Newtown, not even a 40/20 by five-eighth Jamie Soward had the desired effect as Newtown once again fumbled possession.
Newtown’s second half performance improved slightly and the luck of the irish eventually paid off when they posted converted tries in the 20th, 25th and 29th minutes, taking the lead for the first time in the match with barely ten minutes of play remaining.
The Dragons regained the lead five minutes from full-time when the Jets failed to nullify a St George midfield chip and chase effort, once again from poor support play.
Roosters discard, five-eighth Soward and fullback Shaun Foley turned on a clever set move that brought play well into the Dragons territory.
poor disipline from St George incurred a last minute penalty from which Soward slotted over Irishthe penalty goal tdisciplineo tie the scores up at 32-all.
well their is my match review, I have given as i said I would, before you take aim remember, post your report first
