Tarryn Aiken’s 2021 season could not have started any better; bagging a second-half hat-trick in the Tweed Seagulls’ 42-22 win over the Queensland Valkyries at Tugun RLFC.

The first of the Harvey Norman Queensland Maroons and Brisbane Broncos playmaker’s treble came five minutes after half-time, and two more four-pointers completed the try-scoring bonanza in the 60th and 63rd minutes.

Fellow NRLW representatives Zara Canfield and Lailee Phillips also crossed the chalk; but not to be forgotten, Liahona Theodore’s double for the Valkyries kept the visitors in the fight for the entire 70 minutes.

The Seagulls will be tasked with soaring over 2020 Holcim Cup champions Burleigh Bears in next week’s XXXX Rivalry Round.
