Date: 24/08/2008Reds Get A Lesson In Final Home Game
The Bartercard WA Reds were shown a lesson by the stronger and more direct play by Cabramatta Blues going down in a disappointing 30 to 6 loss for their final home game of the season. It was not without effort from the local side, but they just did get enough ball to be able to make a difference in the scoreboard.
The Blues were determined to continue their unbeaten run and improve their position on the ladder and based on the way they played they are a definite chance in the finals.
In the first half the Reds were scoreless and only looked like getting through on two occasions. They were denied over and over by a relentless Cabramatta.
The Blues were able to score regularly and put on 20 points by the half time break.
In the second half their was more endeavour by the Reds, but again they were denied by the Blues and it was not until the 25 minute mark before Taurean Sheehan was able to cross the line for the first try for the night.
From that point on the Blues shut up shop and made sure the Reds were unable to make any more progress on the scoreboard even though they mounted some serious attacks.
Best players for the Reds included Taurean Sheehan and Isaac Thomas.
Cabramatta were well served through good games by Scott Jones, Brett Rimmer and Luke Branighan.
Next week the Reds travel to Sydney for their final game of the season where they line up against third placed Mounties. The team will finish out of the four but will gain the respect of the competition with some good games played over most of the season.
