Re: 2013 Rugby League World Cup
All the pressure was on Birgeshir, with the home team needing to win by 30 to overtake group leaders Lucerne and take the final qualifying place. Spurred on by a vocal crowd, Birgeshir got off to a good start, with a try in the corner for winger Fehim Öňan, Ertunçojk missing the conversion. All the momentum seemed to be with Birgeshir and sure enough, after forcing two goal line drop outs, this paid off, with Töros Koç touching down beneath the posts, Ertunçojk easily slotting over the conversion. Senya’s first chance in the match came after the sin-binning of Düňa Nadir for a high tackle on Jed Kepp, and, with the Birghshir side depleted, Senya scored from the scrum through full-back Jake Kulpinte, with Lukas Keler adding the extras. Nadir returned to the field and soon made amends, crossing under the posts to give Birgeshir an 8-point advantage, which soon became 10 with the conversion. Another try before half time made it 22-6, with Birgeshir looking easily capable of securing the final qualifying place.
The home crowd roared their team back onto the field for the second half, but it took some time for their support to be rewarded, as both teams exchanged errors early in the period. Dürsün Ertunçojk’s massive kick downfield found touch inside Senya’s 20, giving Birgeshir the ball back at the scrum, and with the period of pressure, they capitalised with Özgü Senojk slipping through 10 yards in from touch, with Ertunçojk adding the conversion. Senya managed to close the gap to 16 points, as Terrence Fielder-Hands went over 20 metres from touch, with Keler successfully adding the goal. Birgeshir looked to have restored their lead 8 minutes from the end, but it was sent up to the video referee, to judge whether Jed Kepp’s high tackle prevented Nadir from scoring. The big screen showed TRY, giving Napian referee Mark Gonzales an interesting decision. He showed Kepp the red card, and allowed Ertunçojk to kick the conversion, successfully, before awarding a penalty under the goalposts for the foul in the act of scoring, which Ertunçojk slotted over to give Birgeshir a rare 8-point try. With Birgeshir needing a converted try to qualify, and just minutes to go, referee Gonzales caused controversy when he ordered Ertunçojk off the field to change his bloodied shirt, after he clashed heads with Laurence Hutcher, who also left the field, and as Birgeshir’s kick was fielded well by Jake Kulpinter, the game looked to be over, but somehow.
As the hooter sounded, the ball came loose, and Birgeshir had, out of nowhere, one final throw of the dice. The ball somehow found its way out to Fehim Öňan’s wing, who looked to have been dragged touch in-goal as he grounded the ball, giving the referee no option but to go to the screen, first to check how the ball came free from Senyan hands, which the video showed to be a one-on-one ball steal by Durul Gül. Mercury’s John Mayfield then went on to check that Töros Koç was onside as Gül kicked it forward, then looked at whether or not Tæhşın Doğanojk obstructed Alan Gortwick as the ball came across the field, before finally moving on to check the grounding, with Öňan’s shoulder knocking the corner post as he touched down, and his foot hitting the line a fraction of a second after. The home crowd didn’t even cheer when TRY appeared on the screen, knowing that the kick was needed, and Ertunçojk was still missing from the field of play. Düňa Nadir was the one to step forward in his place, and seemingly unfazed by the pressure, lined the ball up, and kicked it straight into the post, only for it to fall onto the crossbar and drop the correct side of the line. Birgeshir’s fans swarmed the pitch as the touch judges’ flags were raised.

ALLAHU AKBAR!
That's a very very very great win with all respect for Senya!
I didn't expect this despite Birgeshir is one of those micronations that love Rugby League.
Senya will compete in the West Championship of the FMRL Minor Championships.
