Plenty of action at Bundaberg Broadcasters Premiership

Bundaberg Broadcasters Premiership
Tyrell Priestley plunges over for a try despite the efforts of Wallaroos defenders in their Bundaberg Broadcasters A Grade Premiership clash at Salter Oval on Saturday.

Eighteen-year-old Isaiah Bullard filled the big shoes of Dyirun Johnson in the centres with aplomb, notching a hat-trick of tries on his A Grade debut on Saturday.

Wests Panthers claimed the outright lead in the Bundaberg Broadcasters Premiership with a 54-16 mauling of Waves Tigers at the Salter Oval game.

His centre partner Jensen Deamer chalked up his second straight double to take his tally to five tries in three matches and also seal a place in the Bundaberg squad for the 47th Battalion Memorial Carnival at Salter Oval on May Day weekend.

The Tigers’ loss left them on zero points in the cellar after reigning champions Past Brothers had opened their account with a 40-22 victory over Wallaroos, who are also win-less after three rounds.

Easts Magpies and Hervey Bay Seagulls both remain unbeaten and are now joint-second after battling out an epic 32-all draw.

In the Northern Districts, two teams remain unbeaten after two rounds with Gin Gin Hawks outgunning hosts Miriam Vale Magpies 30-16 at Gary Larson Oval on Saturday, after South Kolan Sharks outclassed two-time defending premiers Avondale Tigers 34-10.

The Hawks’ win gave them the daily double after their Women’s League Tag team had white-washed Avondale Hornets 62-0.

AFL: Hervey Bay Bombers kicked 10 of the last 12 goals to defeat reigning champions and hosts Across The Waves Eagles 12.11 (83) to 5.5 (35) in their second round clash at Frank Coulthard Oval on Saturday and make a real statement in the AFL Wide Bay Seniors division.

The Eagles, who had the first-round bye, trailed by just seven points at the long break but managed just one behind in the third term and one goal in the last as the Bombers, who clearly had the edge in match fitness and firepower, powered home.

Bundaberg’s other side in the competition, Brothers Bulldogs, suffered their second straight heavy away loss, at the hands of Bay Power 22.14 (146) to 4.3 (27).

In the Takalvan’s Women’s Premiership penultimate round, the win-less Bulldogs had another tough away defeat, against Gympie Cats 10.5 (65) to 1.2 (8).

FOOTBALL:  Across The Waves (ATW) played their hearts out in their Nation-wide FFA Cup fifth round match at Martens Oval on Saturday, but glamour Rockhampton club Frenchville came from behind twice to snatch a 4-3 victory with two goals in the last 16 minutes, with Jackson Lems scoring the winner in the 93rd minute.

In the Wide Bay Premier League Men’s division at Martens Oval, Josh Adcock led the charge with a hat-trick as United Park Eagles (UPE) torched Diggers 10-0, while Doon Villa ran out 5-0 victors over SC Corinthians, and in Hervey Bay, Bingera edged out KSS Jets 3-2.

ATW however downed KSS Jets 3-0 in the Premier League Women’s category.

HOCKEY: Bundaberg Division 1 men’s four-times defending champions All Blacks and beaten grand finalists in each of those years, Waves Cities, battled out an epic 1-1 draw in their first meeting since last year’s grand final at Hinkler Park on Saturday, with junior stars Isaac Wales and Sam Aitkenhead scoring for their respective sides.’

In the other D1 men’s match, Josh Crow was a match winner for Raiders/Rovers with a double as they pipped Arrows/Athletics 3-2.

All Blacks and Cities’ Division 1 women also had to share the points 1-all, but Raiders/Rovers accounted for Arrows 2-1.

NETBALL: Waves Gold started their Bundaberg Warren Family Homes Division 1 Premiership title defence in style with a big 58-29 triumph over Natives Magpies at the Super Park on Saturday.

Waves Blue also tried hard against Brothers Hurricanes but went down 46-37, while Fusion Solomons accounted for Alloway Blue 45-38.

RUNNING: David Wallace turned it on to be a run-away male winner of the Bargara Triathlon Club’s Club Bargara Half Marathon on Sunday, completing the 21.1km course in a slick 1:21.53.3, more than 5 minutes ahead of runner-up Richard Koech, with Dwayne McKay a further 3:34.8 away in third position in the field of 27.

Lauren Maher-Allan was the female winner in an also impressive 1:36.07.2, 56.7 seconds in advance of Trudy Pavey.

In the 15km event, 15-year-old Lachlan Stevenson led the field him in 1:02.22.9, while Kaleisha Hilborn was the female champion in 1:11.37.2.

An 8km race was also run with Avishek Singh leading throughout and finishing in 30:08.0, and 16-year-old Pepe Pavey taking the female title in 39:19.0.
