The Timbertowners at home tested the competition leaders on Saturday<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In front of a home crowd, Blackbutt tested an under-strength Cherbourg A Grade rugby league side on Saturday, almost achieving the unthinkable and toppling the competition leaders.<\/p>\n

The final score was Cherbourg 48, Blackbutt 30 … but that doesn’t reflect the closeness of the game at times during the 80 minutes.<\/p>\n

The Hornets arrived at the Blackbutt Showground with just 14 players, and some of their big men notably missing. In contrast, the Timbertowners were eager to do well at home.<\/p>\n

Blackbutt opened the scoring with a try to Dylan Gilliland just minutes after kick-off.<\/p>\n

Cherbourg responded, with Ivan Harrison crossing and Fred Aubrey converting (the first of his six goals for the day).<\/p>\n

The Timbertowners’ defence then held Cherbourg out for more than 10 minutes before Lyndon Hopkins broke through.<\/p>\n

It looked like Blackbutt was going to reply with a breakaway run by Blake Harvey, but sadly for the home crowd the ball was called back after Harvey lost the ball in a tackle as he was about to ground it between the posts.<\/p>\n

Cyril Georgetown was next to score for Cherbourg.<\/p>\n

Ashley Smallwood hit back for Blackbutt before Fred Aubrey stamped his authority on the game for Cherbourg in the lead up to half-time.<\/p>\n

Firstly, Aubrey put up a bomb on the fifth tackle which Nathan Gadd gathered to score; five minutes later Aubrey ran through a gap to score himself.<\/p>\n

At half-time the score was Cherbourg 28, Blackbutt 10.<\/p>\n

Blackbutt had new life after the break, with Gilliland again the first to score.<\/p>\n

Alexander Speedy replied for Cherbourg before Blackbutt scored back-to-back tries bringing the Timbertowners within 10 points, 34-24.<\/p>\n

But in the last 10 minutes, Aubrey again dominated, scoring three tries, and ironically, dropping a Blackbutt kick which allowed Blackbutt in to score.<\/p>\n

Try scorers for Blackbutt were Dylan Gilliland (2), Matt Davis, Will Murray, Blake Harvey and Ashley Smallwood. Andrew Hewitt finished with three goals.<\/p>\n

Points scorers for Cherbourg were Fred Aubrey (4) and six goals, Nathan Gadd, Lyndon Hopkins, Alexander Speedy, Ivan Harrison and Cyril Georgetown.<\/p>\n

In the first A Grade game played on Saturday at Blackbutt, the Wondai Wolves were too strong for Nanango, scoring 11 tries to romp home 62-26.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The half-time score was 34-16.<\/p>\n

Try scorers for Wondai were Cody Beggs (2), Tyrone Mickelo (2), Luke Hedges (2), Danny Alberts, Bradley Barsby, Lewis Hopkins, Mick Murray and Troy Kerkow. Goals: Lewis Hopkins (3), Luke Hedges (2), Harrison Miller (2), Danny Alberts and Troy Kerkow.<\/p>\n

Nanango tries: Rob Ryan, Pat McCallum, Brad Staples, James Webb and Dannon Weir. Goals: Brian De La Cruz (2) and Pat McCallum.<\/p>\n
