Eastwood v Eastern Suburbs
A shock loss to Eastern Suburbs has narrowed Eastwood’s lead at the top of the table, with the Woodies and second-placed Marlins separated only by two bonus points. The Woodies struggled to maintain possession, with a number of mistakes gifting Easts the advantage. Such was the strength of the visitors’ defence, the Woodies stumbled under the pressure. Although they mounted a second half comeback, a missed penalty attempt on the bell left the Woodies three points short of a draw and allowed Easts to snatch a fourth victory of the season so far.
Eastern Suburbs 28 (Henry Hudson, Will Fay, Anoton Lavin tries, Henry Hudson 2 cons, 3 pens) d Eastwood 25 (Michael McDougall, Gareth Palamo, Nick Reily tries, Ben Batger 2cons, 2 pens) at T.G. Millner Field. Referee Nathan Pearce.
