George Hartnett Metropolitan Funerals Match Report
It was a picturesque afternoon for rugby league as the Seagulls welcomed Souths Logan Magpies to BMD Kougari Oval yesterday.
In the feature match of the round, the two Brisbane Broncos affiliates faced off following mixed results for each team over the past month.
Making the game even more important was that the winner would receive the Mitch Cronin Cup in honour of the former player of both clubs.
The Magpies scored first and opened up a 22-0 lead at halftime. Darius Farmer got the Seagulls on the scoresheet in the 42nd minute, in what the home crowd hoped would be a comeback.
However, the Magpies scored two more tries to blow the game apart at 32-6.
Sione Hopoate got a late consolation try, but the game finished up 40-10.
A tough loss for the Seagulls, which is their 3rd in a row.
In better news, our gameday sponsors Bartons Motor Group and Jayco Brisbane Camperland gave away a car and a caravan for a weekend getaway, in a very generous halftime prize draw.
Wynnum Manly now have the bye, before the whole competition takes a week off. Following that 2 week break, we’re heading to Cooktown for QRL’s Country Week to play the first-placed Northern Pride.
Our next home game is on Saturday 17th of August against the Townsville Blackhawks. Chemist Warehouse will give away upto $5,000 in their Kick For Cash at halftime. To enter the draw, simply spend $30 in store at Chemist Warehouse Wynnum or Tingalpa and mention ‘Kick For Cash’ at the checkout.
