MITCHELL’S<br />
THE MAN<br />
ALL GOLDS 30 – 28 BEARS<br />
SATURDAY 12 AUGUST <strong>2017</strong><br />
PRINCE OF WALES STADIUM<br />
Trailing 28-12 with 15 minutes remaining, the <strong>All</strong><br />
<strong>Golds</strong> were in a hole. The Bears were looking at<br />
a second consecutive win in Cheltenham but<br />
Jack Mitchell stepped up to cross for a try five<br />
minutes from the hooter and add the decisive<br />
goal from the touchline.<br />
It took almost 20 minutes for the first score to<br />
arrive and Matthew Reid powered over from<br />
close range. Brad Delaney added the extras.<br />
Paul Emanuelli then made it 10-0 with a length<br />
of the field interception before Chris Barratt<br />
crossed with Delaney adding the extras for 16-0.<br />
The <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong> were enjoying plenty of possession<br />
but they lacked the killer instinct in attack.<br />
Five minutes into the second half, Steve Parry<br />
got the <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong> on the board but the Bears<br />
responded immediately through Michael Russell<br />
to keep their three score advantage.<br />
Parry then set up Harry Kidd but again they lost<br />
the momentum straight away when Hayden<br />
Freeman touched down and the Bears looked<br />
on course for their first win on the road this<br />
season.<br />
Then came the comeback. Parry burrowed<br />
over from dummy half for his second try of the<br />
game then just three minutes later Joe McClean<br />
touched down. Mitchell converted both scores<br />
as the home side moved within four points of<br />
the Bears.<br />
Then Mitchell stepped up. He ran a great line to<br />
touch down in the corner and converted from<br />
the narrowest of angles for good measure.<br />
Amazingly, the Bears were given two chances to<br />
snatch a draw in the final few minutes. Delaney<br />
put an inviting penalty wide before the Bears got<br />
a second chance but chose to run what would<br />
have been a straightforward two points and<br />
came up empty.<br />
