A Good Fight

Putting up a good fight but sadly falling short, the Hens unfortunately took a loss to Western Lions 28 – 16.

The girls sent the ball wide, making exceptional ground with the “speedsters” of the team taking over, however, the Lions outscored the locals by two tries with all of their five tries scored from running up the centre, close to the line.

The Hens did have some setbacks, with star forward Abby King underperforming due to carrying an injury, along with losing Toni Daisy and Margie O’Rourke to injuries.

Before taking to the sidelines, Toni scored a celebrated try early on, and Margie has been commended for being one of the better forwards in recent games.

Tegan Johnson was awarded Players Player due to her outstanding defence out wide, and for diffusing several bombs. Toni, Martina, and Stephanie were also celebrated for scoring tries, along with Logan Roncarto kicking two goals.

In other ladies’ matches, Centrals dominated Brothers 38 – 6 with Charters Towers, Herbert River and Norths all having byes.
