Reserve grade
In a tale of two halves, the Reggie’s let another game slide with a poor second half.
After another slow start, the boars allowed the diehards to put on a few try’s on early before they clicked into gear. With a bit of possession, they wrestled back the momentum and were easily making their way down the field. Damon Bulmer took a scoot from dummy half close to the line and the boars were on the board.
Liam McInnis back from injury was making valuable meters up the middle and buster Wilson kept catching the markers out with some clever play from dummy half to advance the boars into the diehard’s territory. Brad Frost barrelled his way through multiple defenders to score under the posts and put the boars in front. From the next kick off the boars went the length of the field and ben bland crossed over to extend the lead just before half time.
The second half was a completely different story with the boars surrendering a large lead for the second week in a row. After complety dominating the first half, simple handling errors and bad discipline proved costly in the end.
After allowing Dalby to score the boars responded with their own try. The game swung into the diehard’s favour with boars unable to get out of their own end and on the back of possession Dalby slowly pegged the lead back and found themselves in front with a couple of minutes to go. The boars eventually going down by four points.

A Grade
Oh so close, is the story so far this year. In another nail bitter, the boars pushed the Dalby diehards all the way to the end, with the only difference being a penalty goal in the last two minutes deciding the game.
Tom Halford opened the scoring when he found space out wide and raced 50 meters for a try. Dalby responded not long after with their own try and the scores were level again. The game went end to end for a period with both teams unable to crack the defence until Tom Halford broke the deadlock with his second try close to the line.
Dalby started to get on top towards the back end of the first half and were finding gaps in the defensive line and were able to put two try’s on to take a 6-point lead into half time.
The diehards looked like running away with the match when they scored after half time and had a few more disallowed. But to the boar’s credit they scrambled in defence and started to work their way back into the match.
With the Goondiwindi forwards getting more physical and laying the platform, which allowed tyrell McCullagh to get another trademark long range try from dummy half. The boar were now on top now and Brandon McGrady scored under the posts to get within 6 points.
On the back of more possession the boars found themselves attacking Dalby’s try line again and a cross field found Stewart Lowe in the corner and the scores were now even, setting up a tense ending. Dalby got themselves out of their own end and found themselves in boar’s territory which resulted in penalty and they took the two points.
The boars went for the short kick off and ended up with ball and one last chance of winning the game but a handling error cost them snatching a victory. The boars going down by two points.
