Hamilton BHS into Final

In front of a large crowd. Hamilton BHS defeated Hills Sports?High School from Australia 18 -0 to progress to the final of the Sanix World Schools Tournament in Japan.
In a sometimes brutal encounter, Hamilton took on the Australians up front. Playing into the wind in the first half, Hamilton kept possession for long periods of time before winger Jesse Dodunski made a break and fed inside to fullback Henare Hira to score. 1st 5 Josh Smith kicked a penalty to reward a long period of sustained pressure and not long after stepped through a gap to score close to the posts. Going into the 2nd half up 15-0, Hamilton again dominated territory and possession. The huge Australians defended stoutly and kept Hamilton to a single penalty although Hamilton created but failed to finish several strong attacks.
Players to impress included strong running No. 8 Kallum Andrews, who was awarded the Grassroots Trust player of the day. Josh Fa’agalu was always dangerous at 2nd 5 and winger Jesse Dodunski had an excellent all round performance.
Hamilton play Truro College from England in the final tomorrow. Truro beat Marais Viljoen H.S. from South Africa in the other semi-final.
