Highfields Eagles headed out
to Platz Oval, Clifton for the first
round of the qualification finals.
All three men’s teams were to
battle it out at the Wattles Home
Ground where wins have been
few and far between for the Eagles.
The day started with the under
19 men taking on Brothers Ipswich
which was always going to
be a tough game.
The Eagles hit the scoreboard
early with a try in the opening

RUGBY LEAGUE
Eagles vie for grand final spots
minutes but Ipswich hit back
almost straight away, scoring
down the right side.
It seemed it was going to be
a tight battle but the Highfields
Eagles lifted in crucial parts of
the game and got away with a
34-24 win which sees them head
to Gatton this Sunday to take
on the Hawks for a chance to
go straight into the grand final.
The reserve grade team has
been in great form all season and
were confident leading into the
first round of the finals where
they met the Gatton Hawks.
Only two weeks ago they
convincingly beat the Hawks at
Gatton which was a great result.
The Hawks were obviously out
for redemption as they hit the
ground running, putting on three
tries in the first 15 minutes.
It certainly was a start to a
game the Eagles Reggie’s were
not familiar with.
To their credit, they came together
well, led superbly by their
half Cory Haywood who pulled
off a 40/20 kick which resulted
in a try to get them back in the
game.
The Eagles got a roll on and
crossed the try line four times,
one, a superb intercept by Lachy
Thom who ran the ength of the
field to score under the posts.
This try ignited a fire in the Eagles.
Two points down with five
minutes to go, they threw everything
at the Hawks but just
couldn’t get over the line.
The Eagles lost 22-
24 which sends them to a
knock out round on Saturday
at home against Valleys.
The day got worse for the
Highfields Eagles with the A
grade taking on Wattles at home.
They are always tough to beat
at Platz Oval and in finals, even
more so.
The Eagles started strong
but they just couldn’t come together
on the day to hold the
Wattles Warriors out, allowing
them to score 54 points to their
14. The Eagles now take on
Goondiwindi at home on Saturday
which is a do or die match
to continue in the finals run.
