Ipswich

Tries: Reggie
Cressbrook, Faron Anderson, Ricky Bird, Kerry
Theuerkauf
Goals: Ricky
Bird
defeated East Coast Tigers 6
Tries: Ricky
Taylor
Goals: John
Wilshere
Venue: Bendigo Bank
Oval
Date: Fri May 4
Comments: Ipswich have bounced back from a
humiliating loss to Burleigh with a great win over
East Coast at home. The Jets really needed to
win this match if they are to keep up their hopes of
making the semi-finals. East Coast have now lost
3 matches in a row and are looking quite shaky at the
moment. They Norths at home next week and that
will be no easy task with the Devils scoring a
comfortable win over Burleigh on the weekend.
Redcliffe
Dolphins 34
Tries: Jason
Webber 2, Adam Mogg, George Wilson, Andrew Wynyard,
Craig O'Dwyer
Goals: Damien
Richters 5
defeated Wynnum Seagulls 14
Tries: Nathan
Webber, Jason Keough
Goals: Nathan
Webber 2, Grant Dutton
Venue: Dolphin Oval
Date:
Sat May 5
Comments: Redcliffe have recorded a
solid 34-14 win over Wynnum at Dolphin Oval,
yesterday. The Dolphins' cause was pretty much helped
by the Seagulls constantly turning over the ball in
their own half. The Seagulls were lucky to only
trail 12-14 at half-time and, when Grant Dutton kicked
a penalty goal after Dolphin Danny Bourke was sent to
the sin-bin to tie up the match, Wynnum looked to have
the upper hand in the match. However, they blew
any advantage they had when Craig O'Dwyer charged over
for a soft try for Redcliffe, after the Seagulls
coughed up the ball in their own half. The
Dolphins ran in two more tries and remain undefeated
for the season.
Toowoomba
Clydesdales 56
Tries: Elia
Tuqiri 2, Damon Keating 2, Justin Hodges, Ken
McQuinness, Tony Duggan, Neale Wyatt, Corey Parker,
Mark Corvo
Goals: Damien
Quinn 8
defeated Logan City Scorpions 0
Venue: Newtown Oval
Date: Sat May 5
Comments: The Clydesdales continue
their hot form with another 56-0 win over the
Scorpions. Toowoomba scored another 10 tries in
this match with Elia Tuqiri and Damon Keating both
grabbing two tries apiece. They now have a
massive for-and-against record over 300 points, just
after 8 rounds, and simply look unbeatable at the
present moment. Logan, after a good start, have
now lost four games in a trot.
Norths
Devils 40
Tries: Marty
Turner 3, Paul Sheedy, Terry Benson, Tai Lavea, Paul
Whatuira
Goals: Marty
Turner 6
defeated Burleigh Bears 18
Tries: Nick
Shaw, Aaron Douglas, Paul Anoleck, Chris Horsfal
Goals: Greg
Bourke
Venue: Bishop Park
Date: Sat May 5
Comments: Norths continue their good
form of late with a thumping win over the Bears.
Young half-back Marty Turner scored three tries (and
kicked 6 goals) for the Devils as the home side
overwhelmed a disappointing Burleigh outfit. The
Bears have been hot and cold all year but,
surprisingly, they are only two points adrift of the
top 5.
Souths
Magpies 28
Tries: Matt
Lockyer 2, Josh Stowers 2, Ben Davidson, Darren Lawson
Goals: Matt
Lockyer, Andrew Murdoch
defeated Wests Panthers 22
Tries: Brent
Webb 2, Adam Carne, James Brown, Mark Eacott
Goals: James
Brown
Venue: Suncorp-Metway Stadium
Date: Sun May 6
Comments: The Panthers led at all
stages of this match, up until 6 minutes of fulltime,
but were unable to hold out the Magpies in the final
wash. Wests led 14-10 at half-time and were up
22-20 in the 74th minute when Darren Lawson crashed
over for a Magpies' try to put them in front for the
first time in the match. The Panthers threw
everything at Souths, in the dying minutes, but
Magpies' five-eighth Matt Lockyer scored his second
try (against the run of play) to wrap up the game for
the black-and-whites.
