..Great win by the REDS..:crazy: Go you Good Thing !! ..:crazy:Date: 20/07/2008Reds Hit Back With Great Win
The WA Bartercard Reds broke through for their fifth win of the season beating the Chester Hill Rhinos and moving a game ahead of them on the table. With a final score of 29 to16 it was good for the local side to get back into the winners list.
Without their leading players in Shayne McMenemy and Jason Godecke who are playing for the Jim Beam combined side in Queensland, the Reds relied on their up and comers who did not let them down. They were also without Tyrone Coppedge and Delane Edwards both on the injured list.
The game started on a positive note for the Reds after chasing down the kick after the first set to hold the ball in the end zone. They then pushed hard for the next 10 minutes but could not break through letting the Rhinos off the hook. With no score from either side for the first 20 minutes, the game was affected by errors.
It was Clae Morgan who finally broke through for the Reds followed by Heath Egglestone at the 25 minute mark who caught the opposition on the overlap. The half time score of 10 nil to the Reds was enough to spur them on for the second half.
One of the highlights of the first half was the tackle on the try line by the Reds best player Mick Kestel who made up some big ground to push the Rhinos runner over the line just before the siren.
After the break Isaac Thomas scored first at the 5 minute mark after a series of quick plays which caught the Rhinos napping.
Chester Hills Matt Lamb found a hole at the nine minute mark to score a try to lift the side which then started challenging the Reds for the first time. After 3 penalties in their own 10 metres the Reds finally succumbed to let another try over taking the game to 16 10 at the 18 minute mark.
With the Rhinos tiring, Kestell stepped through the defense for an easy try which he then converted.
With the score at 22 to 10 Michael Small made a professional foul at the 20 metre line in holding down a player too long after a good offensive by the Rhinos which had him sent off at the 28 minute mark and kept the Reds to one man down for the rest of the game.
Ryan Dickson then scored after a 60 metre play and again with a field goal with 8 minutes to go to give the home side a 19 point lead.
A last minute try and conversion by Rhinos full back Clayton Sellings took the score to 29 16.
With 12 points and some telling tackles Mick Kestell was easily the best for the Reds. He was backed up with good games from Steve Gherardi, Heath Egglestone and James McGow
The Reds travel to Sydney again next week to take on last placed Southern Sydney Sharks.
