But give them (Rural) credit, they adjusted well. There was a five-minute spell in the second half when we couldn’t get the ball to drop. … We couldn’t free up Morgan and their defence defended him well.” Carlile said the Raiders “changed their style in the second half and we couldn’t stop them. They got up in our faces and we backed down, and it’s just unfortunate we couldn’t win the gold medal. But overall I’m happy with the season.” The Axemen had broken to a 9-0 lead.
