The Byron Bay A-grade league players left the Clarence Valley on Saturday afternoon after scoring 11 tries on their way to beating the Magpies 56–16, and remain undefeated after three rounds.
Red Devil, Jack Rogers, managed to convert six tries including one of his own.
The try-splurge from the A-graders, however, was almost matched by the reserves who put on ten of their own in their 54–4 win over the Lower Clarence.
Nicholas Asser was the reserve stand-out, scoring three and converting seven from seven.
The Byron Bay U/18s did their bit with a comfortable 22–4 win.
The Magpies had the upper hand in the women’s touch keeping the visitors scoreless in their 38–0 win.
The Byron sides have home games this Sunday when they take on Northern United. The visitor’s A-grade side had a good win in round two when they beat the Kyogle Turkeys 40–24. Their home game at Lismore last Sunday against Cudgen was cancelled due to the wet weather.
This Sunday’s (April 28) action starts with the U/18s from noon with the women’s touch unscheduled at time of print.
Giants
The Mullumbimby Giants played at home last Sunday and had a 12–12 draw with Marist Brothers. It was their second draw from two games.
Giants captain Cody Nelson was definitely seeing the results from the positive side. ‘We felt we could’ve won it, but I guess the Rams did too,’ he said. ‘It realIy just shows there will be no easy games.’
‘The team is in really good spirits and the defence has been really tested over the last two games. When our attack starts to click then we will be a really hard team to beat’.
In reserve grade Mullum lost 16–8, in U/18s they won 28–12, and the women’s touch side went down 12–0.
‘Despite the weather there was a packed clubhouse for Sponsors Day,’ Cody said
The Giants travel to Kyogle this weekend.
