After their big win against Bryant the day before the Norsemen were fired up for the finals. The weather had calmed down and it was warm, sunny with very little wind....a perfect day for Rugby.
The anticipation was incredible, I have never seen the Norsemen so fired up.
Weaton came out hard, they were running hard, and kicking a lot. The first half was back and forth with neither team looking like they had the upper hand.
Plymouth received an penalty and Paul Jackson took the ball quickly and broke through the defense. Weaton gave away another penalty, this time Rob Howes took the ball quickly, right before the tackle he passed to Joe Lea who used his size to break the defense and at the last second he passed the ball to Kevin Cloutier who ran the ball in for a try. At the end of the first half the Norsemen were winning 5-0.
The second half started like the first lots of kicking and no team showing any signs of scoring, until Weaton broke through Plymouth's defense to score. The conversion was made, PSU were losing 7-5.
At this point Aaron Wilkins a veteran forward got fired up and started screaming at the Norsemen. It worked.
At the kick off Rob Howes lofted the ball high in the air, and Jeremy Lagerval leveled the Weaton player and PSU won the ball back, after a short drive, Rob Howes dove in the corner to put Plymouth back on top.
This fired the Norsemen up even more, Chris Tofte made a huge run dragging Weaton players with him to score a try under the posts. Bill Kolaski converted the kick.
Plymouth were on a roll now, they were running hard, hitting even harder, and basically just wearing Weaton down.
Paul Jackson added the final nail in Weaton's coffin when he ran in Plymouth's final try in the last few moments of the game.
Plymouth win 22-7!!!!!!!!! They are the 2007 New England Champions........
