Sent Off: 76th minute: Jason Wendt (Easts)
Comments: Toowoomba now face minor
premiers Redcliffe, next week, after a very good win
against Easts, in front a very vocal Tigers crowd. The Clydesdales raced to a 14-0
lead after 26 minutes after Brent Tate, Alex Wilson
(length of the field effort) and Junior Pelesasa all
scored 4 pointers courtesy of some woeful one-on-one
tackling from the Tigers. The Tigers
finally got on the board with a try to Jason
Wendt. However, the Clydesdales scored two tries
to Adam Warwick and Jace Van Dijk to take a commanding
24-4 lead at half-time. Easts had to come out
and try stay in the game by scoring a few quick
tries. Tiger Chris Nahi got over the line in the
48th minute and, when halfback Brett McPherson went in
for another try 8 minutes later, Easts had a glimmer
of hope of pulling off a miraculous. Unfortunately for the home side,
one of their players threw a
wayward pass and Alex Wilson swooped on the ball to
sprint away to score his second try of the
day. Des Clark scored a try to the Tigers to
reduce the margin to 10 but Toowoomba finished off in
style when fullback Adam Warwick got his second try,
close to fulltime. The Tigers had an
unhappy day and look likely to miss winger Jason
Wendt, next week, after he was sent off by referee
Tony Maksoud for driving knees into Adam Warwick in a
tackle, towards the end of the game. They will now have to face Burleigh next
week and will have to do a bit of work if they are
stay in the hunt for the Bundy Gold Cup trophy.
