Crushers win keeps finals hopes alive
Isaac Walker-Rosewarne charges ahead as Nambour Division 2 beat Gympie 64-28 at Crusher Park on Saturday.
In probably their most complete performance of the year, the Maudsley Excavation Division 1 Nambour Crushers beat the Gympie Devils 44-12 on Saturday night.
The win means the Division 1 hopes of a finals berth remain alive heading into the final five rounds of the season.
Nambour’s defence set the tone early as they dominated field position and were able to mount continual raids on the Devil’s line.
Marty Cordwell was influential in his return and helped build a platform from which both edges could attack. Some good early ball from both halves allowed the outside backs to find the try line nine times. On the eve of his 100th Division 1 game for Crushers Paul McKewin scored 5 times.
The Kellys Earthworks Division 2 Crushers defeated the Devils 64-28 with Max Hartzenberg scoring four tries and Ben Scott successfully slotting 8 conversions on the back of a solid team effort.
• Home games are on again this Saturday at Crusher Park starting at 11.30am with the Division 1 kicking off at 5.30pm.
