Fans – and players – were taken on a rollercoaster ride of emotion during the see-sawing battle between the Nanango Stags and Murgon Mustangs played at T.J. O’Neill Oval in Kingaroy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

August 13, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

Murgon Mustangs struck back to defeat ladder leaders Nanango in a see-sawing A Grade rugby league game played in Kingaroy last Saturday.<\/p>\n

Nanango drew first blood just minutes after kick-off and at one stage led 14-0 after Rhyse Simpson, Patrick McCallum and Chris Clark scored three quick tries.<\/p>\n

At half-time – and after a 20-minute injury delay – the Stags were still leading 14-4.<\/p>\n

Nanango immediately resumed their attack on the Murgon line after the break, narrowly missing grounding the ball cleanly in the corner.<\/p>\n

But this stroke of luck – and enthusiastic cheering from the sidelines – seemed to turn around the Mustangs’ fortunes.<\/p>\n

Shane Borninkhof and Jameel Sullivan scored two quick tries. Daron Saltner-Bligh added the extras and Murgon was in the lead for the first time 16-14.<\/p>\n

But Nanango weren’t finished and at the mid-point of the half, a Brent Greenslade try – converted by Thomas Springate – put the Stags back ahead, 20-16.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A tough 15-minute arm-wrestle ensued which had Mustangs’ fans screaming over the fence.<\/p>\n

With five minutes left – and against the run of play – Jameel Sullivan broke through and scored for Murgon.<\/p>\n

Daron Saltner-Bligh’s kick was on target, and Murgon was back ahead 22-20.<\/p>\n

As full-time sounded, a frustrated Nanango side gave away a penalty, which Saltner-Bligh turned into two points after the siren, taking the final score to Murgon 24, Nanango 20.<\/p>\n

Murgon try-scorers were Jameel Sullivan (2), Eddie Aubrey and Shane Borninkhof. Daron Saltner-Bligh kicked three conversions and one penalty goal.<\/p>\n

Nanango tries were scored by Rhyse Simpson, Patrick McCallum, Chris Clark and Brent Greenslade.\u00a0Thomas Springate kicked two conversions.<\/p>\n
