Ecky,
Sorry that was soaks not Wests

Too much rugby over the weekend!

No such thing - fixed now.

Thanks

There was a significant breeze from right to left from the clubhouse/commentator box side.

Soaks had first use of the breeze and had a big lead at half time. Paly didn't really look in it at that time.

Paly caught up to Soaks by full time and we had a draw. Extra time of 10 minutes each way ensued.

Soaks again took the lead with Paly playing catch up again. A Paly try in the right side corner right on full time (the second time around) still had Wests up by one point. Conversion kick to win. The right-footed kicker had the kick from the RHS touch line, with the breeze pushing the ball across the goal posts.

He kicks.....he SCORES!

Paly by a point, 40 to 39.

Sounds like an exciting game, the 4th grade major semi also went to extra time and I think someone said Joondalup v Rocky also. Some good close games just what you want from finals.

Out of interest what happens if the game is still tied after extra time? Team higher on ladder goes through? Sudden death?

In semi/prelim finals the team that finished higher on the ladder goes through.

In the grand final the spoils are shared; so I found out last year in 4th Blue.

how crap is that, a shared grand final? keep going until there is a winner... it is not u9's

Golden point instead of extra time?

In the grandies there is an allowance for extra time before the next game starts, except U/18's of course, as they are not permitted to play more than 70 minutes, so there's no chance of extra time and/or "golden point".

If there is no score within that time if we went to "golden point" then all the teams playing after that match would be re-scheduled and pretty much everyone would get the irrits.

RugbyWA would be extremely put out by game day re-scheduling, I reckon. It was bad enough that they only had enough medallions for one team after the 4th Blue GF last year

i'm sure that they can figure something out. re-play the following week, delay the game next game by 10 minutes etc etc... team with the most tries in the match would be an easy one, then most conversions, then penalties, then flip a coin

I would be bought on as a super sub if that was the case

Gotta have finals done before Mad Monday, so no chance to delay it by a week.
