The Seagulls’ Colts side finished six-game statewide component of the season with a 26-all draw with Souths Logan Magpies after a breathtaking finish at Piggabeen on Sunday.
The Gulls conceded a try in the final three minutes to go behind 26-20 and seemed destined for a heart-breaking loss.
However, they regained possession from a short kick-off and were able to work play downfield and lock Jerome Veve crashed over. Bayley Gill converted from 10-metres wide of the posts to gain a draw in thee dying seconds.
“We played a lot better than previous two weeks; it was a good effort good and a draw was probably a fair result for both teams,” said coach Jamie McCormack.
“Both sides were guilty of doing something good then backing up with an error, so while we played really well at times we had a few costly lapses.
“But it was an encouraging way to finish the statewide section of the season and we’ll have a few weeks’ break now and go back into the regular Colts competition.”
The Seagulls had several good performers including second-rower Marty Ferguson in his strongest effort of the season, prop Jack Peacock in his first match for the Gulls and centre Jake Gleeson.
The South-East Queensland competition begins on the weekend of May 13-14, with Tweed taking on Souths Logan again.
