Ugly win in Tamworth keeps Boars on top
20th May 2014
Narrabri Blue Boars consolidated their position at the top of the Central North leader-board over the weekend, holding off a resurgent Tamworth Magpies in the second-half to finish 38-17.
It was a tale of two halves for the Boars, with the visitors putting in their most dominant opening 40-minute performance of the season.
Tries to Sam Clements, Tim O’Brien, Thomas Lynch and Matt Nott in the half highlighted the commanding presence of the Boars, taking a 31-nil lead into the break.
The Boars looked to continue where they left off at the resumption of play, with Luke Findley crossing over the line early in the second half.
