1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: No doubt the blood pressure was through the roof on

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: SAT today. The Hammers have pulled off the perfect season,

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 1: lifting the Meads Cup at home for the first time

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: in twelve years, and wide a way to do it

5
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: in front of a bumper crowds. Some sensational footy, nail

6
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: biting stuff. We led fourteen six ants the half which

7
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: gave a bit of confidence two tries to two penalties.

8
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: But then those sneaky swamp Foxes they staged to come back,

9
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: didn't they, And then emotions all over the place in

10
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: the final ten minutes. So they copped a card which

11
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: needed us to go out the sticks in a rear

12
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: slip up. Tom Ricky missed it and then the Foxes

13
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,599
Speaker 1: managed to regain the ball and then they rewarded a

14
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: penalty and then it was a lineout's deep within our

15
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: twenty two I think it was fifteen from the line

16
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: and then it was just sensational co skip Declan McCormack

17
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: managed to steal the ball from the line out and

18
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: we held on for the final two minutes to take

19
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: the win. What was that score again? Twenty one eighteen

20
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: and then just euphoria as everybody runs onto the park

21
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: and it's all celebrations, And in the throes of that,

22
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: I managed to chuck a microphone first in the way

23
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: of Dicky McCormick's face and asked about that to that

24
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: pivotal moment.

25
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, exhausted, but happy to get that one there at

26
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:18,960

00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: up tonight in the next couple of days. And yeah,

29
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 2: I was thinking probably tomorrow hopefully. Yeah. Oh and real

30
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: he has a few tears at the end, then I'm

31
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 2: sure there be a few tears. Let's get the shed,

32
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: but mass for the region, massive for the boys like Fred.

33
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: You've been in the team for ten years having any success,

34
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: so absolutely grant to get one on the loan for

35
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 2: every one on the team and for Fred's especially.

36
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,160

38
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: Adam Williamson, who I also caught. He was absolutely knackd

39
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: but just shuffed.

40
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 3: I was struggling to hold back the tears. To be honest,

41
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 3: the Tiger tame put out there gas like you just

00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 3: stop throwing it at you, and just honestly, it felt

45
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 3: like it was never ending out there. But the boys

46
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,160
