Reserves push leaders

24 Jun, 2010 05:06 PM
The Wingham Tigers reserve grade Group Three rugby league side went close to toppling unbeaten competition leaders Port City in their clash at Port Macquarie.

The Breakers had won all their previous games by a minimum of 16 points.

Wingham took the early lead with a try by Luke Steel.

At the 10 minute mark, the Breakers took the lead by 6-4 after a try from dummy half.

Another try five minutes later extended the home team’s advantage to 12-4.

Again, a dummy half try 10 minutes from half time pushed Port City’s lead out to 18-4.

Five minutes later, Adam Kerr crawled his way over the line for a try. Luke Steel added the extra points. Minutes later, Cody Green scored in the corner after a 50 metre run. The Tigers trailed 18-14 at the break.

The second half started disastrously for Wingham with the home team scoring twice without the Tigers having possession of the football.

A try by Shaun Carr brought the score back to 28-18.

Minutes later, Port City were awarded a try and another try from the kick-off to the Breakers extended the lead to 40-18.

In the final quarter of an hour, the Tigers came storming back.

Beau Prior scored in the corner, followed by another by captain coach Ryan McIntosh in the opposite corner.

A second try to Cody Green, converted by Shaun Carr, in the final minutes made the final score 40-32, with both teams scoring seven tries.
