LAKES UNITED SEAGULLS
The Mc Cloy Group Lakes United came up South Newcastle last weekend at Cahill Oval with mixed success winning 3 from 5 games. The Blues Tag Ladies played out a tough loss going down 12-8 after taking an early lead. Our Seagalls are very close to knocking off Souths and with greater concentration across the entire game they will get them if they meet in the finals series. I am sure coach Logan Redman will have them firing for their next game to keep the ladies in touch with the competition leaders. The 19s continued their winning ways with a 34-14 win over the Lions once again. The 19?s are starting to come together as a unit and have every chance of figuring strongly in the finals as we turn the corner into the back end of the season. The Open Grade again once again showed their class beating Souths 22-6 in what was a one sided affair. Opens are in a strong position going into the second half of the season having only dropped one game so far. The Reserve Grade Seagulls come away with their second win for the year and were too good across the park for the previously undefeated Lions. Big games by Mitch Bailey upfront and Aarron McGrady, while Steve Leask worked tirelessly all game while Blake Dean must be banging on the first grade door given his great start to the year and ability to manage a game. 1 st Grade started strongly scoring inside the first minute to take an early lead, the celebration were short lived though due to poor handling and soft defence up the middle. What is a worrying trend in first grade for the first half of the year, there is a lack of respect for ball control, doing the basics well and discipline. Again Cal Guest played well along with Jaybel up front. Lakes have our ?Day at the Races? on 29th June, there are limited seats left so if anyone is interested in attending or sponsoring a race see all the details on our Facebook page.
