S1 Match report by Johnny McCorkindale (S1 Captain)

The Wellington P7 team took on an impressive Jordanhill side away in Glasgow.
This was the P7’s first game in 8 weeks! Due to injuries and no substitutes, some players had to play out of position. In the first half Wellington conceded an early try. However, two unconverted tries gave Wellington a half-time lead. Throughout the game, Wellington had super rucking and great support play. Jordanhill equalised with a nice try, but this made Wellington even more determined to win. Suddenly a crash ball gave Josh Lightbown the opportunity to score, and the try was converted. It was a great team effort and a good win to Wellington ending 10-7.
