League of His Own Ch. 12

... places the ball between the posts. Eels fourteen. Rangers ten with the kick to come."

"If we pause the replay, you can see that Grant draws in the two players here which creates the space for Brasher. Perfect link-up play there from Rangers. Momentum is behind them now. The Eels still lead, but with the conversion, the Rangers can sense victory."

The minutes ticked by. Cooper was right about one thing. We did have the momentum. Confidence was surging. Each set of six saw us making more metres than the Eels managed in reply. The only thing that was keeping them in the game was their kicking game. No forty-twenties but kicking the ball out of play did give them time to catch their breath and set their defensive line.

"Three minutes left on the clock. Rangers on their own forty. Third tackle. Elias to Sironen who pumps those legs and gets the ball into the Eels half."

"They'll be looking for a two-point field goal, Vossy."

"Pearce with a charging run, hitting the line hard. Parramatta swarm to prevent an offload. Fifth tackle..."

"Cole's in the pocket. Parramatta will have to try and shut him down."

At the end of the eighty minutes, the scores remained locked at fourteen points. That meant extra time. Ten minutes more in each direction. If the scores remained tied after that, then it would be golden point. The first team to score would win the game.

The first half of extra time returned to a tight and tense affair. The short break was just what the Parramatta players needed. Rejuvenated and their desire to keep us scoreless was evident. We kept them pinned in their own half at the same time. The ferocity of the tackles even had me wincing at times. The break between the halves of extra time was only a couple of minutes, time to take on some more fluids, and take on a couple of simple instructions.

It remained tight and tense. Neither side was able to gain an upper hand.

"Four minutes of extra time to be played. Rangers deep in their own end of the field. Fourth tackle. Cole receives the ball from Elias. And kicks! What a kick! Will it make the touchline? Yes! Forty-twenty. Fantastic kick by Daniel Cole. Gives Rangers fantastic ...
