The Port Douglas Crocs journeyed to Holloways Beach on Saturday to do battle with Cairns City Lions. The opening quarter was a bruising physical affair with neither team willing to take a backward step.

The game was fast flowing and both teams managed to score goals frequently. Unfortunately the Crocs' run of injuries continued with Alex Bendle sustaining a broken ankle.

The second and third quarter followed the same trend and spectator interest was maintained due to the close scores.
 
The last quarter was a thriller with both teams giving it their best. The Crocs' boys took out the game due to their more accurate kicking for goal in the last quarter.

Again, the Crocs were well served by players of the calibre of Dylan Wearmouth, Skip Gribbon and Mark Nuggin, who were hard at the contest all day.

RESERVES

Unfortunately the Reserves match was again one sided due to the Lions struggling to field a full team. This was reflected in the scoring.

Next week Port Douglas has the bye and don't forget there is no game the following week because of the Richmond vs Gold Coast Suns match at Cazalys.  The Crocs' next game is 21 July at home to North Cairns.
 
Go Crocs!
