Ipswich
Jets 30
Tries: Ricky
Bird 3, Reggie Cressbrook, Brian McCarthy, Richard
Allwood
Goals: Reggie
Cressbrook 3
defeated Logan City Scorpions 26
Tries: Darren
Ireland, Phil Shilvock, Shane Tronc, Adam Daly
Goals: Brad
Sim 5
Venue: Meakin Park
Date: Sat May 12
Comments: A man-of-the-match
performance from dynamic 5/8th Ricky Bird has given
Ipswich a much needed win over Logan. Bird
scored three tries and wrapped up the game for the
Jets when he crossed over for a great individual try,
4 minutes from full-time. It was a see-sawing
match with both teams swapping the lead several times
in the match. The Scorpions look to have the
upper hand when Brad Sim kicked a penalty goal to
break a 24-all deadlock, late in the second half, but
Birds' great try put any paid to that. Despite
the home side dominating possession in the match and a
10-2 penalty count against them, Ipswich were able to
grind out the win and, more importantly, a still a
good chance of the making the semi-finals.
Match Details
Wests Panthers 34
Tries: Brent
Webb 2, Geoff Rolleston, Steve Franciscus, James
Brown, Denny Lambert
Goals: James
Brown 5
defeated Central Queensland Comets
12
Tries: Justin
Loomans 2, Heath Egglestone
Venue: Purtell
Park
Date: Sat May 12
Comments: Wests have registered their second
win of the season with a resounding win over the
Central Comets, at home. The Panthers have had a
disappointing year, so far, and this effort will give
the inexperienced side some confidence to savage some
pride for the rest of the season. If there was
any doubt of the Comets chances' of making the finals,
it would have been well in truly eliminated with this
sad performance. Put it frankly, Central are the
under-achievers of the year so far.
Toowoomba
Clydesdales 24
Tries: Elia
Tuqiri, Damon Keating, Michael Ryan, Michael Coorey
Goals: Damien
Quinn 4
defeated Wynnum Seagulls
16
Tries: Lance
Cronk, David Seage, Ben Martin
Goals: Nathan
Webber
Venue: Kougari Oval
Date: Sun May 13
Comments: Toowoomba remain undefeated
for the season but were given an almighty fright by
the home side. Wynnum, after a disappointing
performance against the other unbeaten side Redcliffe
last week, were not expected to trouble the high
flying Clydesdales but dished it up to their
opponents. Damon Keating scored a late try to
give the visitors an 8 point victory.
East
Coast Tigers 32
Tries: David
Baildon 2, John Wilshere, Brett McPherson, Mark Mom
Goals: John
Wilshere 6
defeated Norths Devils 16
Tries: John
Paul Cherry 2, Tai Lavea
Goals: Marty
Turner 2
Venue: Langlands Park
Date: Sun May 13
Comments: East Coast have bounced
back to form with a good win over Norths at
home. The Tigers were staring down the barrel of
a fourth consecutive defeat but proved to be too good
for the Devils in this match. East Coast's win
means that Toowoomba and Redcliffe now have a 6 point
lead on the rest of teams in the competition.
Burleigh
Bears 40
Tries: Greg
Bourke 3, Jamie Mahon, Aaron Douglas, Adam Hayden,
Grant Adamson, Chris Horsfall
Goals: Greg
Bourke 4
defeated Souths Magpies 28
Tries: Josh
Stowers 3, Tristan Brady-Smith, Matt McCosker
Goals: Andrew
Murdoch 3, Matt Lockyer
Venue: Pizzey Park
Date:
Sun May 13
Comments: Burleigh have stormed home to
record a win over a gutsy Magpie outfit. The
Bears were trailing 28-16 at one stage of the match
but managed to dig themselves out of trouble.
However, despite the win, Burleigh are not clearly
performing as well as they could and coach Rick Stone
will have work to do with his team if they consider
themselves premiership contenders. Souths gave
it all their best but weren't able to hold out the
home side, in the end.
