Four
quick tries in 20 minutes in the second half has
ensured the Toowoomba Clydesdales a win over Logan at
Meakin Park on Saturday. The Scorpions led 14-10 at
half-time but a poor defensive display in that period,
after the break, allowed their opponents to assert
their class. However, to the home side's credit, they
did not give up trying and grabbed two late tries to
eventually go down by 8 points.
Toowoomba scored an early try when Corey Parker simply
stepped through some ordinary defence and crossed
underneath the posts. Logan quickly regained their
composure and half-back Darren Ireland scored a pretty
soft try in the 16th minute when he sucked in Brent
Tate with a big dummy and popped over the line. Brad
Sim had performed a great one-on-one strip on
Clydesdales' fullback Steve Irwin, earlier on in the
movement, and the Scorpions were able to capitalize on
this opportunity.
A brilliant effort by Brendan Lindsay saw the home
side grab the lead in the 21st minute. Lindsay put in
a small chip kick and somehow regathered the ball to
score a great individual try. Brad Sim converted the
try and Logan were in front 10-6.
Nathan Murphy struck back for the Clydesdales when he
simply accelerated through two defenders to score the
first of two tries for the match. It was poor defence
by the Scorpions but they made up for this blemish
when Phil Shilvock burrowed his way from dummy
half to score a try, just before
half-time. Shilvock had made a great break down the
sideline and Nick Myers was brought down at the line
before Shilvock darted from dummy
half
and got under two defenders to put his side back in
front again. The Scorpions took in a well deserved
14-10 lead at the break.
Unfortunately for the Scorpions, their defence
totally fell away in the early stages of the second
half and Toowoomba took full advantage of this. Tries
to Damien Quinn (43rd), Corey Parker (48th), Tony
Duggan (51st)
and Nathan Murphy (57th) virtually put the game beyond
doubt for Toowoomba. Halves Nathan Murphy and Casey
McGuire were the chief destroyers and they both cut up
the flimsy Logan defence. Murphy made two great line
breaks with saw tries eventually scored while McGuire
delicately flicked the ball around the back of two
defenders so Parker could score his second half for
the day.
But the home side never gave up trying and managed to
grab two late tries to add a bit of respectability to
the score. Terry O'Regan (off another Lindsay chip and
chase effort) and Brendan Currie both crossed over for
tries. The Scorpions also had another opportunity to
score another try but Toowoomba's defence held fast in
the dying minutes and they were able to come away with
a 34-26 win.
