tweed heads seagulls

The Hunters took a 10-4 lead at the break and thoroughly dominated the second half to win the round 17 clash this afternoon at the Piggabeen Sports Reserve, Australia.

The Seagulls put themselves right back in the game when Sam Irwin scored in the 54th minute.

Michael Burgess made sure of the kick to equalise.

The Hunters started their rampage from the 60-minute mark with tries to Bland Abavu, Tuvi Lepan and Thompson Teteh all in 10 minutes.

The final 10 minutes saw two more tries to Butler Morris and another to Abavu to grab his second right on full time.

The Hunters were under the pump right from the kick off; forced to defend in their own half in the opening minutes.

But solid defence denied the Seagulls early points.

After weathering the storm, the Hunters went on the counter attack and found the try line in the 12th minute through Justin Olam.

Ase Boas converted the try to take a 6-0 lead.

But the Seagulls continued to ask questions, threatening to score dominating possession.

The home side finally broke through the Hunters’ defence in the 31st minute when Sam Saville scored.
