A good start to the season for PENALLTA 13's.
Penallta were away to st Julians today, a side they have never played.
St Julians started the game well and took full advantage of the lapses in defence, crossing the line three times in the first half and kicking two conversions.
This stirred the Pitmen into action and the second half saw a total reversal. Penallta's defence was solid and we started to find the gaps in the middle of the park. Some good strong forward play was rewarded with the backs going over to score.
Penallta took the lead halfway through the second half and despite a valiant effort by the home team, managed to extend their lead towards the end.
Final score was st Julians 24 Penallta 34. A good fight back after being 19-5 down at halftime.
Penallta's man of the match was Iwan Horley, with a brace of tries and some fabulous work in defence.
The scorers were Eli 2, Iwan Horley 2, Evan 1, Sam 1, conversion Edison 1, Eli 1.
Well done boys.
