Concrete Cowboys cement the top spot

The Concrete Cowboys cemented the top spot on the Mixed Open Touch Competition
ladder on Thursday night when they had a 5-2 win over the competition’s other top team, King Roosters.

The gloves came off and the umbrellas went up when the Concrete Cowboys met the King Roosters in Round 6 of the Open Mixed Touch competition last Thursday night.

A thunderstorm that had been threatening for a few hours dumped a good deal of its rain on Thursday’s games, one of which was the match of the round between the two top sides, Concrete Cowboys and King Roosters.

The slippery conditions affected ball handling, decreased the number of try scoring opportunities and contributed to a number of errors in the match.

By half time the score was just 1-all with Ben Griffiths scoring for the Cowboys and Ted Smith crossing for King Roosters.

In the second half, Concrete Cowboys’ Neve Carter and Taylah Good scored a try each which ultimately helped the Cowboys to a 5-2 win.

With female tries worth double points, that made all the difference to the end result as King Roosters only added one more point to their tally with a try from Toby Greenwood.

With both teams having plenty of players who can score tries as well as very good defenders, the outcome may be a different result when the two sides meet in the semis…full report in this week’s edition out now!
