The team started well with a break and pass from Guy Shepherd to Mitch Bayley who side stepped a player to score the first try.

An infringement in play saw Daniel Bates kick a fantastic penalty goal putting the side in the lead, 8-0.

A few silly mistakes saw Beaches hit back with two converted tries before half time.

After the break, the team failed to get back into the match with poor decisions.

Nathan Hartcher scored a great try courtesy of a dropped ball from Beaches, which was kicked through from Sam Ernst.

Nathan showing his soccer skills to put it on the toe and score in the corner.

Daniel Bates converted to make the score 19–15 however Beaches scored twice to seal the victory.

Final score 26-15.

Although the Colts were depleted with injury and suspended players the team should be proud of their efforts.Congratulations to all involved.
