Nelson Bays Lose to Queensland

Queensland's strong-running and cohesive pack, backed up by fast, tricky and hard-driving backs, overshadowed Nelson Bays when the two teams met at Trafalgar Park two weeks ago. Queensland had its second win of its tour, 13-9. This was a match which Nelson Bays could have won. But our backs relied exclusively on kicking as a means of penetration and this, ill-directed, nullified the excellent work of the forwards. As well, Trevor Morris had an off-day with his goal kicking. Had he been up to his usual high standard, he could have won the day for Nelson Bays.
