The Ben Campbell Building Group THS had their first trial game of 2018 against Souths Logan Magpies on Saturday night at Waterford Demons Football Park.

Despite a strong start to the game from the Gulls it was the Magpies who crossed the line for the first try to take the lead 4-0 after 5 mins. It wasn’t long before Hiale Roycroft broke the line from 20 metres out from the Magpies line and crashed over to level the scores at 4 all. Seagulls hit the front at around the 20 min mark when after a fantastic backline movement Jayden Baker was able to score in the corner to put THS ahead 8-4.

Souths responded with a try of their own with around 15 mins to play in the first half to level the scores at 8 all and this is where the scores remained for the first half.

Shortly after play resumed for the second half Souths Logan hit the front making the score 12-8.

The Magpies were able to extend their lead with a long range try mid way through the second half.

Despite some fantastic defence late in the game from THS where they defended 3 repeat sets, Souths Logan were able to crash over under the posts to take the score to 20-8 and this is where the scoring ended.

Overall it was a solid performance from a young THS squad missing a number of their star players. There will be plenty of positives for coach Ben Woolf to take out of the game as he prepares the team for their final trial against Burleigh Bears next weekend.

See you all there!
