UGB Lions 22 Laporte 22 AFTER taking an early lead with a penalty by Canning, UGB were stunned when Laporte raced into an 18-2 with three converted tries.

The home side hit back though with tries by S. Hughes and S. Anders to trail 18-10 at half time.

An Andy Abbot try reduced the deficit further before Laporte replied with an unconverted touchdown, but as the game went on UG began to get stronger. And they finished with a flourish with further tries from Sherritt and Hughes giving them a share of the points. The Mel Griffiths man of the match was A. Seabrook, with Seasons Country Florist the match ball sponsor.
