Germiston Simmer Rugby Club was excited to host Krugersdorp Harlequins Rugby Club in their first home match of the Pirates Grand Challenge, which falls under the Golden Lions Rugby Union.<\/p>\n
The match was played at Simmer\u2019s home grounds at the Germiston Stadium on Saturday, with a number of supporters lining the field.<\/p>
The game got off to a sloppy start for Simmer as players struggled to find one another, with a number of catches being missed, leaving players scrambling to gain possession of the ball.<\/p>\n
After the opening 10 minutes, however, it seemed the team\u2019s nerves settled, and following the example of skipper Charl Wright, the team were able to inch past the Harlequins\u2019 defence to get the first points of the match on the scoreboard.<\/p>
After restart was not fielded the Harlequins hit back hard and scored a try of their own.<\/p>\n
This left the home team a little rattled and they struggled to find their game plan, which the visiting team took full advantage, increasing their lead to 19-7.<\/p>\n
