UK-bound Magpie flies out with a farewell treble

30th Apr 2014

ALASTAIR Doyle bagged a late farewell treble as Tamworth did to Quirindi what been’s done to it in the first couple of weeks of Central North Rugby Union at Quirindi on Saturday.

The Magpies were too good for the Lions, running away with a 49-12 win to pick up their first CNRU points for the season.

Doyle had a big hand in that, scoring three tries in the last 20 minutes.

He’s off to the UK and probably won’t be back before season end, Magpies co-coach Ross Duncan said.

He was happy to finally have a win to talk about after heavy losses to Moree and Pirates.

“We controlled possession and territory a bit more and put the pressure on Quirindi and made them make the mistakes,” Duncan said.
