Edit: I should add that his third try has won us this game when with 20 to go we were 20 points down!

Final score Storm 46 vs Warriors 44

Could've been four if his little toe wasn't ruled to have been on the touchline. ;)

What an incredible game! I thought we were gone for all money at 44-24 down (or whatever it was). Then we put on four unanswered tries - an exceptional comeback by our young blokes =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>

Rochow's try in the first half was a beauty, barging three or four would be defenders out of his way. O'Neill's try after that from a pinpoint bomb was excellent too.

What a thrilling finish - great work, and indeed a great season from the Thunderbolts. There's some serious talent in the side  :D :D :D

And if the Gulls win in the Under 20's against the Tits then the Thunderbolts will meet the Warriors again next week in the finals.
