The Mullumbimby Giants first-grade side opened their season with a 16–12 win playing against the Lower Clarence at Yamba Oval.
The Giants came out on top after scoring three tries to two, with each side converting two.
The win was much needed good news for the visitors who went down in the other three grades on what was described as ‘a great day of footy’.
In the Ladies League Touch the Lower Clarence Magpies won 16–6, in the U/18s they prevailed 18–10 and in reserve grade ran out 36–26 winners.
Red Devils
The Byron Bay Red Devils opened their season hosting the Murwillumbah Mustangs last Sunday afternoon and suffered a similar fate to Mullumbimby, losing three lower grade games, before they managed a 20–20 draw in first-grade.
Murwillumbah won the LLT 32–10, the U/18s 26–22 and the reserve grade 14–4.
Next week the Red Devils have a bye while the Mullumbimby Giants host four grades against the Northern United Dirrawongs.
