It may be Mothers’ Day tomorrow but the mums of the Tweed Seagulls have unwrapped their two points tonight with a win over the Ipswich Jets at the North Ipswich Reserve.
The Seagulls started with all the possession and field position.
On the back of three penalties and a repeat set, the Seagulls sent to the right and found an unmarked Talor Walters, scoring his third try this season. Lindon McGrady added two points to his tally of 44 points this year and Tweed had the perfect start.
It turned out six points wasn’t the perfect start and the Jets did two better.
The Jets went down the other end and on the last tackle Josh Cleeland put through a kick and it was captain Nat Neale who not only scored his 35th try, but his first eight-point try. Cleeland happily potted the four points and the Jets had the lead 8-6.
Cleeland continued to keep the pressure on the Seagulls with his goal kicking and brought up his 21st goal this season with two points.
The Jets were on the other side of the ill-discipline when Seb Pandia earned a 10 minute break in the sin bin.
It was Nat Neale again busting the Seagulls and surging downfield to find Tyler Coburn, who scored his first Intrust Super Cup try in game seven for the Jets.
Cleeland added the extra point and the Jets opened up a lead of 16-6 with five minutes until half-time.
