Wilshere 5
defeated Souths
Magpies 16
Tries: Francis
Meli, Darren Lawson, Vae Kalolo
Goals: Ben
Lythe 2
Venue: Langlands
Park
Date: Sat April 15
Comments: The first half of this
game saw some fantastic football being
played by both sides. Easts scooted out
to a 10-0 lead but the Magpies came back
to draw the game 10 all at the break. Both teams played terrific and frantic
football with little error and it was a
joy to watch. However, the big Souths'
forwards got tied in the second half and
the Tigers' put on 24 points to run away
with the game. Aseri Laing and Daniel
Frame proved a big handful for Souths
with Laing scoring 2 tries.
Burleigh Bears 22
Tries: Irwin
Appo, Reggie Cressbrook, Darren Anderson,
Dean Allen
Goals: Reggie Cressbrook 3
defeated Norths
Devils 20
Tries: Steven
Bell, Gus McKellar, Chris Essex, Dane Morgan
Goals: Gus
McKellar, Ryan Gundry
Venue: Pizzey Park
Date:
Sat April 15
Comments: An exciting
game between two of competition's
heavyweights with a penalty goal to
Reggie Cressbrook sealing the game for
the Bears. Burleigh had the best of their
opponents on the first half, with the
Bears getting out to 20-4 lead at one
stage. However, a tremendous fight back by
the Devils saw them tie the game up at 20
all. With under two minutes to go on the
clock, referee Rob Alexander penalised
Norths for a play-the-ball infringement
and Cressbrook booted the goal to give
Burleigh the win.
Ipswich Jets 30
Tries: Brian
McCarthy 2, Craig Green, Francis Renouf,
Kerry Carmichael
Goals: Kerry Carmichael 5
defeated
Central Comets 22
Tries: Matt
Barclay 2, Justin Loomans, Ash Dowie
Goals: Ken
Graham 3
Venue: Browne Park
Date: Sat April 15
Comments: Ipswich scored
a surprising win against the Comets in
Rockhampton. Given the Jets' previous two
weeks form, you wouldn't have tipped them
to topple the home side. However, they
managed to pull it off! Rod Reddy and
coaching staff at the Comets must be
starting to get worried at their sides'
performances, recently. On a four game
losing streak, the Comets are a better
team than their results are suggesting at
the moment.
Toowoomba
Clydesdales 34
Tries: Corey Parker 2,
Dennis White, Chris Walker, Brent Tate,
Carl Webb
Goals: Jac Van Dijk 5
defeated Cairns
Cyclones 12
Tries: Leon Yeatman,
Shannon Furber
Goals: Scott Williamson 2
Venue: Callender Park
Date: Sat April 15
Comments: The
Clydesdales remain at the top of the
Bundy Gold Cup after Saturday night's win
in Innisfail. The bottom placed Cairns
Cyclones were never expected to trouble
the high-flying Toowoomba and surely
enough the away side secured a fairly
comfortable win.
Logan City Scorpions 22
Tries: Terry O'Regan,
Darren Crilley, Brett Simmonds, Shaun Ireland
Goals: Grant
Dutton 3
defeated
Wests Panthers 6
Tries: Mark Eacott
Goals: Nathan Bourke
Venue: Meakin Park
Date: Sun April 16
Comments: Good win by
the Scorpions saw them secure their first
ever Queensland Cup victory over Wests.
Logan stay in touch with the top five,
just staying outside on for and against.
Redcliffe Dolphins 14
Tries: Adam Mogg, George
Saleh, James Hinchey
Goals: Damien Richters
defeated Wynnum
Seagulls 6
Tries: Jay O'Doherty
Goals: Jay O'Doherty
Venue: Kougari Oval
Date: Sun April 16
Comments: Wynnum should
hold their heads high after putting on a
spirited performance against their higher
ranked rivals, Redcliffe. The Seagulls
have not won a game but certainly were
close to gaining one at Kougari, on
Sunday. The Dolphins only led by two
points at the half-time break and were
extremely lucky to escape with the two
points after putting on such mistake
ridden and ordinary effort. The Wynnum
crowd in the 'Chook Pen' cheered their
team off the field even though they lost
the game and deserved too. Win number one
for the Seagulls surely must not be far
away.
