And how about their crowd? 6 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:18,599 Speaker 1: Is it like anything you've experienced? 7 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 2: I Louck. That was magndicent, isn't it. And we talked, 8 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,799 Speaker 2: We've talked for the last couple of weeks about the 9 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,600 Speaker 2: crowd and this and just what that does the twenty 10 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 2: fourth player and you know, lot, you cash your mind 11 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 2: back that last two minutes. The crowd were cheering, hoping. 12 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,480 Speaker 2: It was outstanding. The ground was absolutely packed the whole 13 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 2: way around. So good to see Mid Canary supporters Scott 14 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,200 Speaker 2: riding behind our hammers and it was awesome. 15 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,839 Speaker 1: It was good to see a lot of Swamp Fox fans. 16 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: I must have met there too. But of course the 17 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 1: Mid Canburary signs. Do we know who the fellers and 18 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: the body paint were? 19 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,919 Speaker 2: It surely have found out too, Luke. But I've been 20 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 2: told not to disclose some good young fellows. There are 21 00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: local fellows that have gone away to university and that's God, 22 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 2: isn't that? Yeah? Actually, you're right the swampings. They brought 23 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 2: about two hundred and fifty people down I did. They 24 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 2: had supporters' buses coming out of crash. 25 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: They had the corporate box their trailer at the end 26 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: that had the sign up. 27 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 2: That was great to see, wasn't They were in good 28 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 2: spirits and Billy Bush he was driving on one of 29 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 2: the buses. 30 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: It's brilliant. So the occasion we had the ants, them, 31 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: TV cameras all over the place. Quiet, a bit of 32 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: confidence leading into the break, but then that massive crowd 33 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: got pretty quiet and pretty tense, particularly through that final fifteen. 34 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 2: That's right, like g Yeah, turning into halftime. You know, 35 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 2: I was thinking Maddy Winter and the coaching team would 36 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 2: have been relative be peace heading into the wind, turning 37 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 2: around with the wind behind their backs, and then you're 38 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 2: right there. 39 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: It's almost like the wind behind each team served as 40 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: a disadvantage. 41 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 2: What does and actually we talked about that. You know, 42 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 2: when you've got the wind and you're actually plugging back 43 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 2: the corners, but what you do there is actually giving 44 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 2: the opposition the ball back right, and so Thames Valley 45 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 2: started to create phases and so they were getting into 46 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 2: the double digit phases and then it's very difficult to 47 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 2: keep defending for long tracks of timeline, there isn't it. 48 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 2: And as we saw, they got momentum. Momentum scored one 49 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 2: try and then pretty quickly scored another one, and that, 50 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 2: you know, that's when we. 51 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: Really got yeah pretty much. And then there was that card. 52 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 1: It was quite neat to note that our Zimbabwe and 53 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: Reserve shepherd Mimberry brought it fifty What an occasion to 54 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: do it. But he also took a big knock he 55 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: did in order for that card. 56 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 2: To be hit. Yeah, Yeah, he saw it coming, didn't he. 57 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 2: You could sort of you could feel it up the 58 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 2: top and it was a massive fit. But unfortunately the 59 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,839 Speaker 2: open side for yeah, the swampiece didn't used too many 60 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 2: arms in that tackle. And then poor old tom Recki 61 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 2: missed one for a change. And there's been a bit 62 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 2: on social media about whether he actually did miss it 63 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 2: or not, but I won't go into that. So anyway, 64 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 2: that had allowed swamp That's to come down in that. 65 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, and then for some reason they decided not to 66 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: go for sticks. They went for the went for the 67 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: for the line, and then the hero, the savior of 68 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: the day was all over the place like the best 69 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: kind of ramship CoA skipper Dicklar McCormick. 70 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 2: He was, He was immense for me a looking you know, 71 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 2: he trenched that last line out, but he had actually 72 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 2: also done it in the first half two He had 73 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 2: pinched two early ones off the off the Swampies as well, 74 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,679 Speaker 2: and you know, big cool. They closed it out two 75 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,079 Speaker 2: minutes running clock to go and they just pissed them 76 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 2: that real close and you know, quite often you can 77 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 2: make mistakes there, so the composure to do that was 78 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 2: outstanding and you had just to close that game down. 79 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 2: Just fantastic to watch and just shows you the class 80 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 2: of the side and what they what they can do 81 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 2: and have done over the whole season. 82 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: Everyone outstanding.
