Redcliffe has scored a
relatively comfortable win over Ipswich in a high
scoring match at Dolphin Oval. The Dolphins won the
match 50-28 but their task was made easy with a poor
defensive display from the visitors.
The Dolphins jumped quickly out of the blocks with
tries to Michael Roberts and George Wilson in the
first 6 minutes of the match. Roberts skirted out from
dummy-half, caught the defence napping and popped over
in the corner. Andrew Wynyard set up the Wilson try
when he off loaded a magnificent pass to George.
Wilson sprinted down the side line and stepped away
from two defenders to go under the posts.
Ipswich struck back also immediately (courtesy of a
Tony Gould knock on from the kick-off of the Wilson
try) when Reggie Cressbrook completely fooled
Redcliffe's defence with a dummy and ran through a
gaping hole to score the try.
However, Redcliffe were simply on fire in attack and
they jumped out to a 24-6 lead after 20 minutes of
play with tries to Jason Webber and George Wilson.
Webber snatched his first try of the afternoon when he
stepped and weaved his way through some very ordinary
defence. Andrew Wynyard had another hand in the Wilson
try when he gave another great pass to Damien Richters.
Richters off loaded the ball to George who stood up
Reggie Cressbrook and crossed over for his second try.
While the home side's attacking abilities were
excellent, they lacked intensity in defence (much like
Ipswich) and the Jets managed to peg back the
Dolphins' lead back to 6 points. Ricky Bird had a hand
in both tries by putting Campbell McNiven into gap,
which saw the interchange player cross over, and also
scored a great individual try himself. Bird made a
good run and put up a nice little chip kick. Jason
Webber fumbled the ball and Ricky pounced on the loose
ball to score.
However, they were dealt a blow when Damien Richters
crossed over for another Redcliffe try, just before
half-time. Rod West flicked back a pass to Andrew
Wynyard who gave another great ball to Richters and he
crossed over in the corner. Damien added a great side
line conversion and the Dolphins went into the break
with a 30-18 lead.
Redcliffe virtually put game beyond doubt when they
scored two great tries, early in the second half. Mogg
decided to run the ball on the fifth tackle and sliced
through the fragile defence. He passed the ball to
Michael Roberts, who quickly flicked the ball back to
Wynyard. The second rower off loaded the ball and
Jason Webber crashed over of the line for try number
2. The second try came when Richters quickly fired a
pass to George Wilson. Wilson sprinted down the side
line and went in field before giving the ball to Mogg.
Mogg turned around and Rod West finished off the
movement with a great try.
Ipswich hit back with a try to Kerry Carmichael but
the Dolphins managed to hit the 50 mark in the 68th
minute when Jason Webber crossed for a hat trick of
tries.
Tups Timaloa scored a consolation try for the Jets but
that was all academic with the home side eventually
running out 50-28 victors at full time.
Redcliffe stay within two points of Toowoomba on the
ladder while the Jets will have some work to do in the
second half of the season, if they are to make the
semi-finals. With Burleigh posting an easy 48-4 over
Wests last night at Pizzey Park, it makes Ipswich's
task a little bit harder.
The Dolphins managed to win all three grades on the
day with wins also in A Grade and Colts over Ipswich.
Colts, despite a lopsided penalty count against them,
managed to post an easy 36-6 victory over their
opposition. Winger Ricky Hewinson made a good comeback
from retirement with 2 tries (along with centre Peter
Marshall) to lead A Grade to resounding 40-18 over the
Jets.
