Toowoomba
Clydesdales 28
Tries: Justin
Hodges 2, Brent Tate, Tony Duggan, Nathan Murphy
Goals: Damien
Quinn 4
defeated Redcliffe
Dolphins 22
Tries: Luke
Scott 2, Troy Mitchell, Stuart Cruickshank
Goals: Damien
Richters 3
Venue: Dolphin Oval
Date: Sat August 4
Comments: The Clydesdales
managed to hold off a fast-finishing Redcliffe outfit
to record a nail biting 28-22 win at Dolphin Oval. The
Dolphins staged a great comeback, being 28-10 down at
one stage, and had a try disallowed by the video
referee right on the stroke of fulltime, which would
have got them a draw. Halfback Michael Roberts knocked
on in the in goal as he was trying to force the ball
down after he put in a grubber kick. Had he not had a
go at the ball, it would have been a try as Jason
Webber also came through and forced the ball down
shortly after.

Burleigh Bears 24
Tries: Steve
Parsons 2, Grant Adamson, Simon Geros
Goals: Greg
Bourke 4
defeated Central Queensland Comets
22
Tries: Justin
Loomans, Heath Egglestone, Graham White, Walson Carlos
Goals: Walson
Carlos 3
Venue: Pizzey
Park
Date: Sat August 4
Comments: Burleigh move up another
place on the ladder following a narrow (but crucial) 24-22 win over
Central at home. The Bears
secured their 12th win in a row and look certain to
have home ground advantage in the major preliminary
semi-final, after Redcliffe fell to Toowoomba on
Saturday. With only the lowly Wests and the bye to
come for the Gold Coast side, they should most
definitely wrap up second spot.
Wynnum
Seagulls 23
Tries: Robbie
David 2, Clayton Maher, Scott Tsaousis
Goals: Jay
O'Doherty 2, Ron Troutman
Field Goals: Grant
Dutton
defeated Ipswich Jets 22
Tries: Marshall
Chalk 2, Michael Jack, Faron Anderson
Goals: Trent
Flood 3
Venue: Kougari Oval
Date:
Sun August 5
Comments: A field goal to
Grant Dutton has given Wynnum a 23-22 win over Ipswich
at Kougari Oval. The Jets were in front before the
Seagulls managed scored a late try, with 3 minutes to
go, to make it 22-all. The Dutton field goal right on
the stroke of fulltime sealed the win for the home
side.
Norths
Devils 42
Tries: Paul
Sheedy 3, David Tuqiri 2, Donavan Slade, Marty Turner,
Jason Wrigley
Goals: Marty
Turner 5
defeated Logan Scorpions
22
Tries: Chris
Beattie 2, Terry O'Regan, Cameron Durnford, Brendan
Currie
Goals: Brad
Sim
Venue: Meakin Park
Date: Sun August 5
Comments: The Devils hold onto
fourth spot after a comfortable win over Logan.
This looked to have been a bit of a danger game for
Norths but they brushed aside the home side quite
easily, with fullback Paul Sheedy grabbing a hat trick
of tries. This season has been a big
disappointment for Logan and they will be looking
forward to the completing the year with, hopefully, a
couple of wins.
East
Coast Tigers 58
Tries: John
Wilshere 2, Marcus Jensen 2, Jason Bulgarelli, Scott
Thorburn, Chris Nahi, Aseri Laing, Clinton Peters,
Brett McPherson
Goals: John
Wilshere 9
defeated Souths Magpies 8
Tries: Brett
Stevens, Matt McCosker
Venue: Langlands Park
Date: Sun August 5
Comments: The Tigers are hitting
form at the right time of the season with a crushing
50 point win over the hapless Souths. East Coast
probably put in their best performance and are raising
a few eye bows as they chase for that
premiership. It's still debatable whether or not
they can win a premiership from 4th or 5th spot but,
if there is any team that is capable of doing this
task, then it is the Tigers.
