Match Report:
Burlington @ Hamilton

June 4, 2005

The Hamilton Hornets lost a heartbreaker to the Burlington Centaurs, 35-24. The teams exchanged leads throughout the contest. The Hornets had some high points, and low points throughout the game. Ball Handling by the Hornets was suspect at best, and forward support in the rucks was at times non-existent. On the positive side, the Hornets owned the Lineouts, and controlled many of the scrums, winning Burlington's Ball by wheeling the scrum repeatedly.

Full Back Steve Reise scored a wonderful try from the Hamilton 22 metre line after the ref. disallowing a "mark". Chris Gilks then converted the try.

Scrum Half Peter Van Zyl set up the next Hornet try with a chip through Burlington's back line and subsequently scooped it up to take it to within inches of the try line. With excellent support from the Hamilton pack, the Hornets rucked over the ball, and Duane Davis placed the ball over the try line for the second try.

Inside Centre Matt Barrett scored the 3rd Hornet try breaking through Burlington's defenses, and running out wide along the touchline. Chris Gilks converted the try.

Scrum half Peter Van Zyl scored the last Hornet try with a cheeky play from a set penalty move from within Burlington's 22-metre line.
