Murgon Mustangs overpowered Kingaroy in their A Grade rugby league clash played at Murgon Showgrounds on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The home team were ahead 18-14 at half-time after the Mustangs began strongly, scoring back-to-back tries in the first 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

A Jye Hopkins try for the Red Ants with 10 minutes left in the half briefly levelled the scores at 14-all before Arthur Saltner scored the second of his three tries on the day to put Murgon back in the lead.<\/p>\n

Murgon began the second half in the same style as the first, with a quick try to Lloyd Saltner.<\/p>\n

The game then settled down into an arm-wrestle with neither side making headway until Arthur Saltner finally broke away to score his third try with four minutes to go.<\/p>\n

With less than one minute left on the clock, Mitchell Crossley scored a consolation try for Kingaroy which was converted by Jye Hopkins after the siren\u00a0to take the final score to Murgon 28, Kingaroy 20.<\/p>\n

Murgon tries were scored by Arthur Saltner (3), Lloyd Saltner (2) and Vincent Watson. Chris Bond and Elwyn Fewquandie each kicked one goal.<\/p>\n

Kingaroy tries were scored by Andrew Stewart,\u00a0Jye Hopkins, Elvis Bell and Mitch Crossley.\u00a0Jack Hourn and Jye Hopkins each kicked one goal.<\/p>\n

After five rounds of the senior competition, the Nanango Stags are in top spot on the ladder with 8 points, followed by Kingaroy and Cherbourg with 6pts and Murgon 4pts. Wondai is yet to record a win.<\/strong><\/p>\n
