The first of three games in the Frank Hyde Cup was played on
Saturday
afternoon at Henson Park.
Foundation clubs the Newton Jets and the
North Sydney Bears played under surprisingly pleasant Sydney
conditions, the Jets winning 20-12.
At times the Bears showed good
skills but for the first 3 quarters they could not hold on to the ball
often giving away penalties and while the penalty count was high they
really needed to concentrate on holding on to the ball rather than
argue with the ref.
The Jets on the other hand were stringing it
together well.
In the last quarter it came together for the Bears (they
finally looked the team they really are) scoring their second try a
good looking one by Ben Black. But with 3 minutes left the revival was
too late.
See the final score in the Draws-Results
Section.
