Friday Night Football
Victory found the Vodafone Warriors on Friday night at Mt. Smart Stadium as they took a decisive win over the Roosters (30-13). The intensity of the home crowd filling the statdium with loud cries as the team circled the field about 20-30 mins prior to kick off set the mood that would only intensify further during the match.
The Warriors were greeted onto the field with long winded screams of excited joy from the surrounding stands and a fireworks display which by personal observation was only seen by those not still screaming for the Warriors or focussed on the Cheersleaders.
The first try was to the Warriors within moments of kick-off which followed by several terrible calls by the ref and the Roosters taking 2 converted try's and a drop goal before half time. Coming into the second half the Warriors came out hungry for points and, they got em too, breaking thru the definsive lines to find the try line. During the course of the game the Warriors had two tries disallowed by the ref upstairs and each of those decision's were met with shock and awe from the crowd in sheer disbelief over the terrible call. The errie silience as all eyes fixated on the screen watching the replays came with held breath until the decision was called to the dismay of viewers whom expelled their their anger over the call with questionable expressions exuding disgust & confusion.
The last 10 seconds brought the stadium into one unified support structure as the count down commenced followed by raised hands high into the air, clenched fists punching the air and screams filling the air with exhilleration which only continued as the triumphant Warriors walked the stadium to the claps and cheer from the crowd.
To describe the win as fantastic is an understatement, the crowd were so enthralled over the win that even after waiting in Traffic for an hour to exit the car park, no-one cared. Mostly we all just hung around our trasport pooling in groups still cheering on the win we had been witness too. In the car park, groups including ours could be seen still jumping with excitement hanging around their vehicles chatting with strangers and friends.
The Warriors played a great game, and will face Manly whom are having a very strong season. If succesful they will go on to the Grand Finale in Sydney.
GO WARRIORS
