Wallace responded almost immediately. A number of penalties gave them field position, before Ross Pedlow<\/strong> drove over from close range, beside the posts. James Curran<\/strong>\u2019s conversion gave Wallace a 7-5 lead on 12 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After the score, Campbell caught Wallace on the hop. Quick ball allowed Rus Lovo<\/strong> space, on the right to cross and dot the ball down, under the posts. Alfie Hampton<\/strong>\u2019s conversion had Campbell back in the lead 12-7 after 13 minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lovo repeated the move after 21 minutes, with Hampton\u2019s conversion moving Campbell out to 19-7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the stroke of halftime James Gould<\/strong> burrowed his way over for Wallace, following a driving maul, close to the line. Curran\u2019s conversion reduced the deficit, at halftime to 14-19, to Campbell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Only 2 minutes into the 2nd<\/sup> half, Wallace were in possession close to the line. From the maul, Isaac Brett<\/strong> drove over in the corner. Curran nailed the kick in difficult conditions to put Wallace ahead 21-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Campbell came back. On 36 minutes Raanan Potter<\/strong> scored to the left of the posts. Hampton\u2019s conversion put Campbell back in the lead 26-21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wallace responded with a 2nd<\/sup> Brett try, from a driving maul, on 32 minutes to bring the scores level 26-26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paul Henry<\/strong>\u2019s score after 51 minutes and Hampton\u2019s conversion had Campbell leading 33-26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the 58th<\/sup>\u00a0minute Lovo\u2019s solo effort, as he swept around Wallace defenders, before finishing with a spectacular dive, together with Hampton\u2019s conversion, moved Campbell out to an unassailable 40-26 lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the closing moments Lovo scored his 4th<\/sup> try, in the right corner to leave the final score 45-26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Campbell\u2019s 45-26 victory was impressive but in no way reflects the contribution by Wallace to a great final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n [foogallery id=”604495″]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pirrie Park was the venue for yesterday\u2019s Schools U16 Cup Final between the two unbeaten sides in the Group Stages, Campbell College and Wallace High School.
