ANOTHER FOUR TRIES FOR BIRCH

Birchgrove were unable to register back to back away wins in their third game in 8 days losing 36.27 in an exciting game at Tondu.

Unable to get to the game I am told that we once again scored some thrilling tries. Scott Gibson was first to register for us with a brilliant solo effort to put us in to 3-10 lead. This proved to short lived though as Tondu piled on the points to turn around at half time 23-10 in the lead.

The second half saw another Gibson try,this time Steff, as we pulled back to 23-15. Tondu settled their nerves with a penalty to take the score to 26.15 and create a feeling that maybe the game was going to slip away from us.

Never say die though is the mantra and cracking tries from Sam Berbillion and Lee (Chopper) Healey put Birch in the driving seat at 26-27 and victory was in our grasp.

However, it was not to be as Tondu struck back with a try 31.27 and a last play interception try to give them the 36-27 victory and leave the Birch with a creditable bonus point from a four try haul.

The tries are certainly flowing at the moment and good to watch so well done lads.
