The second leg of the annual Frank Hyde Cup was played out on Saturday between the two fundation clubs of North Sydney and Newton. In a well contested game the Jets ran out winners to take the Cup for the year having also won the first of three matches played on 21st February.
In the first half The Bears fought hard to stop a strong attack from the Jets with the Jets just winning the tusel 14-4.
At half time the crowd was mesmerised by the an appearence from Norths and Newton ledgend Frank Hyde himself as he eloquently spoak of his concern of the direction of football administration and treated them to his rendistion of "Danny Boy".
In the second half dropped ball and general errors led to the Jets to run in more trys. The BEars got back into the game however with an ispirational try from Bears skipper Ben Black. Then another try from Scot McLean.
Three prominant Bears players suffered illness prior to the weekend but North Sydney Coach Gary Larson believes it was really errors that finally led to Newtown finally running away with the match in the last ten minuetes to win 42-20.
Gary Larson also claimed "Ben Fisher worked himself into the ground, Namila Davuitook the ball forward and Paddy Williams is just a great worker." Gary also named Matt Mirabito another stand out.
The Bears next match is a big one against the Parramatta Eels. But coach Larson believes "They can be beaten".
Newtown 42 (A Duncan 3, D Hall 2, S Helu, C Ly, B Veau tries T Barnes 5 goals) defeated North Sydney 20 (T McKenzie, B Black, S McLean, C Hill tries S McLean, N Smith goals).
