FORCE FALLS TO CHEETAHS AT THE ‘FORCE FIELD’
The Western Force has been defeated by the Cheetahs, 24-15, at the ‘Force Field’ (nib Stadium) tonight.
In the club’s 10th season anniversary match, the Force held a 10-8 lead at the half-time break before the visitors responded with 16 points in the final half-an-hour of the match to claim the nine-point victory.
Despite scoring two tries apiece, it was ultimately the boot of Joe Pietersen that proved the difference with the Cheetahs flyhalf kicking 14 points for the night.
Force fullback Dane Haylett-Petty was recognised as Haigh & Hastings Man of the Match for his high involvement performance, ability to carry strong and continually beat the Cheetahs defence.
Sias Ebersohn controlled the game for periods with a strong kicking game in the greasy conditions while Adam Coleman continued his strong form by constantly making ground against the South African opposition with his powerful ball carrying.
The Force returns to the ‘Force Field’ (nib Stadium) to take on the Stormers next Saturday (18 April).
