Peninsula Seagulls 44
Blacktown Workers 14
The Peninsula Seagulls made it
9 from 9 to start 2014 with a 44-14 win over Blacktown Workers at HE Laybutt
Sporting Complex.
In a match where the Seagulls were tipped to account for their
opposition with ease, it took every inch of skill to overcome a stubborn
Blacktown Workers side. The scoreline flatters the Seagulls to a degree with
Blacktown the better of the two sides in the 1st stanza. It took a
five try second half romp to swing the game the Seagulls way.
Peninsula enjoyed the early proceedings but failed to capitalize on good
field position. Peninsula were then penalized for an obstruction which gave the
home side great field position. From the ensuing set a long cut out ball from
Jake Attard hit Daniel Cassone on the chest for the opening try. Six minutes
later Peninsula hit back with a swift backline move which saw Jeremy Marshall
cross in the corner. Peninsula hit the lead seven minutes later when a long
ball from Willie Bishop found an unmarked Tarrant Mariner who crossed without a
hand laid on him. The introduction of Joe Iosefa again proved a headache for
the opposition with the hard running centre powering his way across after 27
minutes of play. Peninsula took the lead into the break with a simple try to
Jai Jones. Jones was the benefactor of a good short ball from Harry Berryman.
Blacktown had the perfection opportunity to level the scores straight
after the break but the final pass went to ground. Taviuni Mariota went on a
long run, as the line beckoned he looked to send the ball to his centre where
it looked like the prop could have scored himself. It was all down hill after
that for the home side with Peninsula dominating the match from that point on. Choosing
to run the ball on the last came up trumps for the visitors with Ryan Wheeler
sending Mariner over for his 2nd try of the match. Eight minutes
later Wheeler crossed the line for the 1st time this season
extending the visitors lead to sixteen. The scoreline looked ugly for Blacktown
after the Seagulls crossed for three tries in ten minutes blowing the score out
to 44-10. A strong charge from Vinny Ngaro set up a try for George Palau before
quick hands resulted in Richie Goodwin crossing in the corner. Peninsula then
went 100 metres from the kick off with Ryan Oldfield going on a long charge
down the touchline. Blacktown finished the match with an entertaining try to
Jaron Smith. Blacktown can be proud of their 1st half performance
proving they can match the top sides in the competition. The Peninsula
Seagulls’ juggernaut continues to gather steam and they look more and more
impressive as the season goes on.
