August 6, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

The South Burnett Thrashers made the Toowoomba Rangers work hard for their points when the teams met in Kingaroy on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Rangers are in the number two slot on the Downs Rugby B Grade ladder but the reinvigorated South Burnett side weren’t about to make their life easy.<\/p>\n

After ten minutes of see-sawing possession, Allan Gillespie opened the scoring for the Rangers with a try in the corner.<\/p>\n

The Thrashers replied just minutes later, with Joel Wolski forcing his way through strong Rangers’ defence to ground the ball.<\/p>\n

The Rangers hit back immediately, gaining possession from a scrum which led to Will Matchet crossing the line.<\/p>\n

South Burnett then attempted to respond again, but this time Rangers’ defence was too good and the ball was lost over the line.<\/p>\n

The Thrashers posted the next points after they were awarded a penalty from a ruck infringement immediately in front of the posts.<\/p>\n

Steve Harrington’s kick was successful, bringing the South Burnett back to within two points of Toowoomba.<\/p>\n

The Rangers then scored again and at the half-time break, the score was Rangers 15, Thrashers 8.<\/p>\n

The Toowoomba side dominated the second half, picking up another 22 points, but the South Burnett added more points through Andrew O’Toole (try) and Toby Broomhall (conversion).<\/p>\n

The final score was Rangers 37, South Burnett Thrashers 15.<\/p>\n

Thrashers\u2019 president Shane O\u2019Malley said the Thrashers enjoyed some good patches, and there were a couple of pluses to take out of the match.<\/p>\n

“There was less dropped ball and our forwards also played very well again, against a stronger pack this week,” he said.<\/p>\n

However, he said the Rangers were “very classy” out wide.<\/p>\n
