Comments: Burleigh have stamped their
premiership aspirations with a superb performance

Bears ended the winning streak of the Clydesdales by
thoughly dominating the match and deservedly won

half and they never allowed Toowoomba back into in the
second, thus securing a win for Burleigh over the
competition leaders.

Comments: Central have scored a last ditch
try to snatch yet another draw this time with
Norths. The Comets led 10-6 at half-time then
the Devils scored the next two tries to be up
16-10. However, for the second week in a row,
the home side pulled one out of the bag and came away
with the draw. This is the third draw for both
sides for the year.

defeated Redcliffe
Dolphins 26
Tries: Phil
Graham 2, Adam Mogg, Troy Mitchell, Luke Scott
Goals: Damien Richters 2, Michael
Roberts
Venue: Langlands Park
Date: Sun July 8
Comments: East Coast have
registered a much needed win over second placed
Redcliffe. The Tigers ran away with the match
after Dolphins' prop Troy Lindsay had been sent off
for a high tackle in the 52nd minute. It had
been an enthralling contest up until then with both
teams trading tries at several times during the
match. The Dolphins also lost Adam Mogg to the
sin-bin just before the break and the Tigers managed
to score to make it 10-all at half-time. The
home side scored again early to grab the lead but Phil
Graham immediately replied for the Dolphins to make it
14-all. Lindsay was then sent off by referee
Mark Waugh after Martin Allen just crossed for a
Tigers' try. Despite Graham's excellent second
try, which drew the scores level again, it was all
downhill from there for Redcliffe and their defence
fell to pieces for the second time in two weeks.
East Coast ran in four more tries to finally end their
run of outs against the Dolphins and keep their
premiership chances alive.
Match Details
Logan
Scorpions 20
Tries: Brad
Sim, Steve Shilvock, Herman Lafaele, Brendon Lindsay
Goals: Brad
Sim 2
defeated Wynnum Seagulls 16
Tries: David
Seage 2, Odelle Harris.
Goals: Jay
O'Doherty 2
Venue: Meakin Park
Date: Sun July 8
Comments: Wynnum's semi-finals
chances have taken a big nosedive after they were
defeated by Logan. The Seagulls are 5 points
adrift of the top 5 and now need to start relying on
other factors (like East Coast losing three of their
last five matches) to make the finals. Credit to
the Scorpions, they have had an up-and-down season and
it was good to see them finally win a close match.
