Kala V UWA

UWA were able to feed off Kala mistakes for most of the game with defensive errors the main culprit. The boys were flat and the lack of line speed and system errors were obvious early. The lethargy also contributed to too many handling errors and kicks not hitting the intended target areas. UWA were able to shoot out to a 22 - 11 halftime lead on the back of soft defence and 1 horrible bounce of the ball.
Kala stuck tight in the 2nd half and were able to claw back a try from getting back to their systems. A UWA penalty made it 25-18. With UWA slowing down and Kala's sheer persistence Kala were able to pounce on a charge down to level the scores 25 all with virtually the last play of the game.
