Roosters ruffle the Magpies’feathers

The Cobar Roosters more than ruffled the feathers of the visiting Baradine Magpies in their Christie & Hood Castlereagh Rugby League First Grade match on Saturday with the Roosters finishing strongly to record a 26-12 win.

Playing out on the left wing for the Roosters, Tyler Coughlan had the honour of opening (and also closing) the scoring in Saturday’s win.

Soon after Coughlan crossed Baradine hit back with a converted try and at 6-4, it was the only time they would lead in the match.

With tries also to their No 2, Jack Brown and fullback, Ash Davies, the Roosters’ pacey backline scored the majority of their points (apart from one try scored by their punishing forward, Zane Taylor).

The Roosters controlled the second half of the match and went on to convert their narrow 10-6 lead into a convincing 26-12 victory.

Thomas Plater landed three out of five conversions, one of which was a sensational sideline kick, to add the extra six points to the Roosters’s tally.

The Castlereagh match of the round will be played this Saturday in Cobar, when the Roosters will be involved in another “Feathery Fight”, when they host the Dunedoo Swans.
