BTC 1sts Victory Against CCC
After their previous loss to CCC in their first encounter, BTC 1sts Rugby League team went into the final game as the underdogs. CCC scored in the first 5 minutes but BTC put their head down and played some good footy. Damien Bige scored first, followed by a strong push over try to Mitch then a corner try to Lachlan Corrigan. Mitch converted all tries. CCC scored again just before half time. At the beginning of the second half BTC was leading 18-6. Through a succession of penalties, the first part of the second half saw BTC constantly defending their line. CCC hammered it out wide and went over for 2 tries which saw BTC trailing 18-24. To their credit they regrouped and brought the pressure back to CCC which saw Lachlan Corrigan cross for a try and Mitch convert to bring the score to 24 all, with 8 minutes to go .BTC had an opportunity for a field goal that CCC thwarted. In the final 2 minutes BTC was attacking their try line when a CCC player tried to strip the ball, with another CCC player also in the tackle , so BTC got a penalty. Mitch took the penalty kick which saw BTC win 26-24, with no time left on the clock. The Thornburgh boys also clenched the Joint Premiers Title. Jack McQueen was awarded Man of the Match.Great game boys. Thanks to all the supporters; you were vocal and the cheering helped the team clench the victory.
