The Final Match.

Goldfinch60



Well the final came!

I had seen the semi-finals,

Two of the greatest matches,

Greatest matches that I had seen,

Could the final be better?

Yes it could!

Leigh Leopards against Hull Kingston Rovers,

Out they came on that Wembley turf

To play the final.

They played so well,

So tremendously well,

Each side gave their all

And it was so close.

A try and conversion in the last minute

Created a draw at full time,

So the Golden Point was played.

I would have been happy,

Happy for it to stay a draw

And both teams share the cup,

They had both played equally well.

But the Golden Point was played

And the drop goal happened

And Leigh Leopards won.

What a match!

It showed what sport could be,

Where each team gave their all,

Gave their all for their teams,

And gave their all

For the game that they love.

  • Comment from author about the poem: I watched the final of the Rugby League Challenge Cup this weekend and saw one of the finest matches I have ever seen. I thought the semi-finals were superb, but the final was better and I thought that both teams deserved to win.

    A friend would want Hull to win. He and family live in Kingston area. Maybe not much longer. His retirement is due next year.
