Dominant win over Roosters
THREE tries in the opening 15 minutes by the Innisfail Leprechauns led to a dominant 34-10 win over the Atherton Roosters in Saturday’s FNQ rugby league premiership match.
In the end, the Leprechauns outscored the Roosters six tries to two and claimed the two premiership points.
The Roosters did show some signs of a recovery when they crossed both sides of half time which trimmed the score to 18-10.
But, again, ball handling errors from the Roosters allowed the Leprechauns to stay on top of the contest and deliver three more tries in the final 20 minutes.
The Leprechauns won the Under 19 match 24-18 and also took the points in reserve grade 20-14 over the Roosters.
The Senior Roosters ladies side won their match 34-8 over Yarrabah at Gordonvale on Sunday.
The next match for the Roosters is on Saturday 27 July at home against Mossman as there are no competition games to be played this coming weekend.
