Kingaroy’s T.J. O’Neill Oval hosted two women’s rugby league matches last Friday … an U16s and an U14s clash between Kingaroy and Kawana.
The U16 women were playing for a spot in the semi-finals of the Sunshine Coast competition, so the game was fast and tough.
The Red Ants dominated the night, ahead 20-8 at half-time and 48-8 when the final siren sounded.
Tries were scored by Sheryl-Lee Barnes (2), Shehara Broderick (2), Lashonda Langton, Keisha Carstairs, Maddie Blair, Ana Toseni and Abe-Lee Stanley. Chantelle Law (4) and Tazma Dolan (2) kicked the conversions.
Kawana’s eight points all came via Melanie Watherston who converted her own penalty try.
Earlier in the evening, the Red Ants U14s women’s side came up against a bigger and stronger Kawana team (some of who later turned out in the U16s match).
The match was played across-field with a much shorter and narrower playing area.
Maddie Carstairs scored Kingaroy’s sole points.
The game was called off, as per Sunshine Coast competition rules, when the score reached 52-4.
