The Burleigh Bears have managed to just hang on and
record a 18-16 win over East Coast at Pizzey Park on
Saturday. East Coast came out in the first half with
all guns blazing and managed to jump out to a 10-0
lead after 17 minutes. However, as it has been all
year, the Tigers blew many more opportunities and
should have been leading by a greater margin at
half-time than the 10-6 lead they took in.
Hudson Smith and Wade Liddell earned stints in the
sin-bin for their part in a brawl that happened just
before the break. Smith reacted to tackle and started
throwing punches at the Tigers' bench player. Liddell
retaliated and both got their orders by referee
Lindsay Luck once everything was under control.
The Bears came out in the second half and immediately
grabbed the lead when Tiger Martin Allan fumbled a
Dean Allen grubber kick in the in goal and Ryan Gundry
pounced on the loose ball, on the first set of six
from the kick-off. They extended their lead to 18-10
in the 54th minute when Grant Adamson fooled the
defence and crossed over for a soft try.
However, Burleigh couldn't quite put East Coast away
and the Tigers managed to come back into the match
when John Wilshere scored a try, with 10 minutes to go
on the clock. Unfortunately for the visitors, they
couldn't get the winning try and the Bears ran out
narrow 18-16 winners.
Neither side played particularly well with both side
grassing many opportunities especially East Coast. The
Tigers again showed they are having many difficulties
scoring points and just look to be suffering without
the services of 5/8th Scott Thorburn. The Bears now
jump ahead of East Coast in fourth place on the ladder
