Brookwood Game Report

With a final score 20 – 0, an improving Mill Creek team fell to Brookwood in GHSRA action in Lilbun on October 19th.

In the first 15 minutes, Mill Creek, put Brookwood under sustained pressure with scrum half Sawyer Dalton going agonizingly close. Touching the corner flag on the way over for the try negated the score, and Mil Creek then ran out of steam, allowing Brookwood to score the first try of the game.

“The first 15 minutes were the best we have ever played” said Mill Creek coach Kevin Mead. “We are just 4 games into this team’s career, and each game decreases the mistakes and increases the skill level.”

“A number of players had their best ever game,” said Mead. “Sergio Gaeta and Eric Rau were just outstanding, and coming off of the bench Chris Tinkey, Patrick Friend and Harnish Patel were just incredible at holding Brookwood back for a considerable time.”

Fitness and concentration were again issues for Mill Creek, and Brookwood were able to score 3 more times before the close of the game.

Mill Creek’s Man of the Match was Sergio Gaeta for his ability to make decisive runs and early tackles in the forwards. The BA Award went to Eric Rau for demanding to be put in when bleeding from the nose, and then making fierce tackles. The Paddy went to Zach Chickachop for the first (and only) crossing penalty of the day.
