• TOWNSVILLE BLACKHAWKS v SUNSHINE COAST FALCONS
Saturday 22 August, 2015
Townsville Blackhawks 20 (Zac Santo, Anthony Mitchell, Kelepi Tanginoa, Rhyse Martin tries; Robert Lui 2 goals) def Sunshine Coast Falcons 13 (Ben Hampton, Jacob Samoa tries; David Oakes 2 goals; Ben Hampton field goal) at Sunshine Coast Stadium.
The Townsville Blackhawks have one hand on the Intrust Super Cup minor premiership in their debut season following the weekend’s 20-13 win over the Sunshine Coast Falcons in the penultimate round of the regular season. The Blackhawks need now win only next weekend’s game against Redcliffe in Townsville to secure the minor premiership after a plucky Mackay Cutters team held fellow table-toppers to a draw on Saturday. That 28-all result at Stadium Mackay means the Hunters are on 40 points and the Blackhawks 41 heading into the final round. The Blackhawks were made to work for the points away from home with Cowboys-contracted players Zac Santo and Kelepi Tanginoa crossing for tries.
