NEWCASTLE RUGBY LEAGUE
Round 15
CESSNOCK 40 – LAKES 6
MAITLAND 64 – PORT STEPHENS 22
CENTRAL NEWCASTLE 42 – MACQUARIE 40
Central has caused a massive upset in the Real NRL, beating the ladder leading Scorpions 42-40 .. Fred Waters got the ball rolling with a long range intercept try.
When Rowan Kelly popped a great ball, Waters showed plenty of speed to grab a double.
Macquarie hit back, as Blake Gallen snared a bomb, before setting up Simon Allen.
When Jarred Edwards scored for the Scorps, the visitors looked in trouble.
But with their finals hopes fading, the Butcher Boys dug deep to produce one of their best performances this year.
