Weather: Cloudy with soft ground conditions


"F.U.N"
Losing a few players to injuries and commitement to contact rugby, SixPack went on to play Bucks Golden in a Semi-finals of the NTL. Bucks Golden fielded a team without most of their younger players. Nevertheless, angled running and good chemistry between the Bucks players resulted in the first try of the match.

Soon after, SixPack infamous for the "die,die must try" attitude equalized with great 70metres dash by "TheKhairul". The try proved to be the turning point of the game as SixPack began to pick up momentum. Bucks Golden had a hard time defending our ruck-ups and SixPack exploited a stagger in defence with a combination of Amila"Special" and Edwin's finishing touch. Lack of communication resulted in a couple of dropped balls in our half. Good angled running drawing defenders out of position before a switch proved to be effective resulting in a try. Credit have to be given to Bucks Golden for integrity by informing the Referee that there was no touch. Hard ruck-ups created an opportunity for Edwin"Gonzalez" to break Bucks Line of defence and link up with Josh"The Freak" with a switch before gliding through for a try.

Half-time score: 4 Six Pack 1 Bucks Golden.

A change of strategy was needed in the second half. SixPack explored the 2-man ruck-up. The quick and effective way of gaining ground and momentum in attack caused a stir in Bucks defence. Soon after, Bucks capitalized on the errors at the wings with a miss pass to an unmarked Bucks player for a try. Sixpack were punished for sleeping at the try line with Bucks overlapping runs and inside pass. Immediately after conceding the try, SixPack replied with a try. A combination of Alan "Lontong" Special and "TheKhairul" 2-man ruck and switch of Amila"Special" left Bucks staring at grass for a while.

Fatigue starts to set in. SixPack lost a couple of possesion due bad ball handling. Bucks began to put on the pressure on SixPack defence. Determined to set foot in the NTL Finals, SixPack never let anyone through. Till the final whistle is blown.

Full-time score: 5 Six Pack 3 Bucks Golden

For additional Motivation

When you walk through a storm
hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.

Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.

Getting psyched up for our big games tommorrow!!!

Please Support!!

Fight on!

For those who are plagued by injuries or those who are down.
Look up, smile and move on.

DON'T QUIT!

When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer, with its twists and turns
As everyone of us sometimes learns
And many a failure turns about
When he/she might have won had he/she stuck it out
Don't give up though the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow.

Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems so far
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Six Pack Booya!

NTL Match - Six Pack vs Wanderers (Round 2-Match 3)

Date: Saturday 29 September 2007
Time: 1440hrs
Venue: Turf City
Weather: Hot with soft ground conditions


“All things are possible when you believe”

The game against Wanderers last Saturday explains it all. Though the game was won Six Pack have to remember that we can lose it as easy as we have won it. Believing alone is not enough to win us Championships but accompanied by hard work, anything is possible.

With 12 people in the starting lineup, we started off by conceding a try in the first few minutes. Six Pack, infamous with the “die, die must try” attitude replied back with a try at the wings. The game started to pick up momentum with both teams pushing themselves to their limits. Miscommunication between the Sri-Lankan Tigers led to a breakthrough by Wanderers. Six Pack showed their flair in ball handling resulting in a try at the wings. Wanderers did a quick 2-man punch catching our link and winger off guard, thus a try. Just before the first half whistle was blown, Alan did what he is best; “The Lontong Special” only to realize that he was the dummy-half. The controversial try smoked not only the players and spectators but also the referee who passed it off as a try.

Half-time score: 4 Six Pack 3 Wanderers.

Six Pack played with structure and defended their tryline well. Conceding only 1 try in the second half. Wanderers began to lose focus and dropped a couple of balls resulting in change of possession. Six Pack capitalized on this error and used every single touch we had to pile up on the score. Taufiq ”Quick Feet” created a 4 v 3 situation which resulted in Terrance scoring at the wings unmarked. Six Pack maintained their lead throughout the match. Final whistle blown.

Full-time score: 7 Six Pack 4 Wanderers

Man-of-the Match: Derrick "The Great Wall"
