STORY AND PIC

BY ALF WILSON

Lanky outside back Edrick Lee scored two tries in his return after injury when the CQ Capras beat the Townsville Blackhawks 44-22 at Rockhampton’s Browne Park on Saturday.

The Capras led 16-6 at halftime and Edrick scored at the third and 62nd minutes to lead way.

Edrick had lined up for the Dolphins NRL side earlier in the season when they beat the North Queensland Cowboys in Townsville and showed all of the NRL experience he gained from stints with the Canberra Raiders, Cronulla Sharks and Newcastle Knights.

Jayden Hodges and Gehamat Shibasaki were in the Blackhawks team who sit in 10th place on the ladder, and the Capras fifth.

Two tries by speedy outside back Jon Reuben was not enough for his Norths Devils who lost 42-34 to the Clydesdales at Clive Berghofer Stadium in Toowoomba.
