George Hartnett Metropolitan Funerals match report
BMD Wynnum Manly Seagulls travelled to Rockhampton for Women In League Round over the weekend to face the Central QLD Capras.
Coming off a 32-12 loss to the 1st-placed Northern Pride in Cooktown the week before, the Seagulls were hoping to get through another big trip and put a win on the board.
Wynnum Manly started well, with a couple of early breaks in an opening 14-minute period of relatively free-flowing football.
The Capras scored first in the 14th minute and unfortunately for the Seagulls, it was one-way traffic from that point on. The Capras then scored 3 more tries to take a 24-0 lead into the halftime break.
Anthony Milford scored first for the Capras in the second half, as the Dolphins-contracted half led his team around the park.
Brendan Frei ran a great line in the 51st minute to get the Seagulls on the scoreboard. Then Josh Stuckey barged his way through defenders in the 54th minutes, creating a glimmer of hope for a comeback.
But being down 30-12 proved too much, as the Capras scored another 3 tries to seal the game, 48-12.
The Seagulls are a lot closer to home for this weekend’s Round 21 away game. We’ll take on the Norths Devils on Sunday at 2:10pm. This is the feature broadcast match of the round, and can be viewed for free on Kayo Freebies, 9Now and QPlus.tv.
Following that, the Seagulls have 2 home games to finish the regular season, against Townsville Blackhawks and then Brisbane Tigers on Paul Green Medal Day.
