We have never had an easy day at Queanbeyan and this game was no different. In tough conditions we managed to score a narrow victory against very committed opposition. There were several strong performances on the day, none better than halfback Anthony Dawes, who put in an outstanding effort in his 100th First Grade game. Mesu and Rocky were terrific all day, Rocky scoring what proved to be the winning try, a try that only he could score. Jordan Fulivai was a welcome addition to the team, he slotted into the unfamiliar role of inside centre and played strongly. This was a very important win for the team and puts us in the box seat to claim second spot on the ladder. With our final game of the regular season this Saturday against Royals the coach will be looking for another good performance and we can go into the semi-finals with winning momentum and confidence. Eagles 19 QBN 17 27 July MINOR SEMI 2nd GRADE Last week a try in 34 seconds. This week three tries in 15 minutes. What are these guys on? It’s called E for ENTHUSIASM. Three tries perfectly executed. The first through a driving maul. Next a wide ball to get around the defence and then the most determined but the usual effort by our No.10 to reach the line. Well done forwards and Stuart Crew, Bunny and Fang(converted). All this was on the back of plenty of effort, possession and territory. However this appeared to dry up, as Queanbeyan got their game into action and in the next 20 minutes the Whites scored two converted tries. Half time Eagles 17 Qbn 14. A penalty early in the second half to the Whites had the scores even. The ensuing twenty minutes was all Whites. What the Eagles gave in response was the best defensive effort of the season, holding out wave after wave of attack from a very aggressive Queanbeyan attack. The quality of this defence wore down and frustrated the opposition. The Eagles fought back to regain territory to attack and from that produced tries to Griffo and Fang, both converted by Paula Katoa. Eagles 31 QBN Tries: Sean Connochie 2, Stuart Crew, James Gregory, Daniel Griffin, Con: Paula Katoa 3 17 COLTS We started this game poorly, and Queanbeyan quickly scored 3 x tries in the opening 10 minutes. After this , our boys settled into the game and stemmed the flow of points against us. For the last 15 minutes of the 1st half and the opening stages of the second half we more than matched Queanbeyan. The Eagles game again faded later in the match. End result 46-12. A full game performance is needed next week against Royals, and a win will see Colts in the finals in 4th place. We defeated Royals in first round 27-22 Eagles 12 QBN 46 100 FIRST GRADE GAMES 3rd GRADE It was the usual horrible day out at Campese Field.... cold, overcast, bleak. Half the team played for 4ths as a warm up. Queanbeyan kicked off and after 10 minutes we were down 17-0. I thought "this is going to be a long day". JD scored, Tyronne converted and at 16 minutes in we were 7-17. CONGRATULATIONS ANTHONY ‘SHRIMP’ DAWES 10 minutes later after some sustained pressure, Leigh Hancock was in off a penalty tap. Tyronne converted and it was game on! 14-17. A couple of minutes later we searched though our extensive list of bench players and decided to bring on Owen Finegan. Not a bad sub for T3s! I am sure that the ref appreciated getting all that assistance too. Halftime came and went , we kicked off downhill and Qbn ran in a try one minute into the second half! We were down 14-24, aargh! Lachlan Carr was in for a try next, after a great clearing kick from Andrew Withers put us into their 22. Score 21-24. A Qbn player was sent to the bin for repeated infringements at the breakdown which gave us total dominance at the scrum. We were rewarded with a penalty try after 16 minutes. Tyronne converted again and we were up 28-24! A penalty within range saw a successful kick by Tyronne and we had a 7 point buffer. The coaches were happy now! Final score 31-24. What a great effort! Down 17 nil after 10 minutes. Let's put this in the locker for the next few games to know what we can do.
