a team they had a big win over last time around. This was a much closer game, with frustrated coach and players when half time arrived and little to show apart from a big error count. A much improved second half secured the bonus point win, still not up to their best level of play, so plenty of room for improvement. All the tries were special, Will Grassby scored two real props tries, had the opportunity to convert one of them and unfortunately hit the crossbar. The location of where he took the kick is in some dispute, he is sure it was from the sideline, possibly a little infield from there! Tim Newton with quick thinking took a penalty tap and barged over for the opening try. To complete the front row try scoring Cooper Elliott returned a kickoff and raced away about 120 metres through 18 defenders to score an amazing solo try (like Will, possibly Coop's memory is a little clouded). The other try had Connor Jenkins finishing off smart inside play to score a great wingers try - pretty good for a man who isn't usually on the wing.Isaac Barnes had a tough time without his kicking tee and converted one of the tries to give the 27-19 final result. 1pt and players player to Cooper Elliott, 2pts Connor Jenkins, 3pts Isaiah Fairless. A general bye next week followed by Northlakes at home for the three grades, with u19s also at home v Kariong. Cheers Boys!
