Walgett through to the semis after fiery encounter

What a physical match.

Few tempers went a bit far in that one - but once it all settled down Walgett got the win over Bourke 20-4.

Things were close but a couple touches of class in intercepts by Ben Barba and Latrell Mitchell led to crucial points.

A great tournament from Bourke who continue to build and build towards a title.

Caught up with their lock Josh Toole.

Quarter finals taking shape!

Bourke vs Walgett - 1550pm on Field 1. Going to be massive.

This Bourke side are solid - they have not had a point scored against them yet and have won by 72, 44 and 40 on their way.

WAC couple real tough games against South Coast and Bundjalung, they look fit though and they will be ready to bring it.

And they have a big, loud, vocal crowd too!

Come on Walgett give it to them!!!!!

Namina Common Connections will take on the Wiradjuri Aboriginal Rivers team too. They are on 350pm on Field 4. Can't wait.

Another big one out!

Griffith Three Ways have been done by Wiradjuri Aboriginal Rivers 12-10. The Rivers side also got rid of the Jai Wright Memorial Bellbrook team earlier in the day 12-6, so they no longer flying under the radar!

They will be playing the Pool C Final on Field 4 at 1550.

Goodooga Magpies are swooping!

The Men got through a very tough and physical match against Cabbage Tree Island - bit of Ouss Ouss in that one too!

The Magpies got a good side there with Will Kennedy playing alongside his dad, the legend Bubba.

They got up 22-14 over a very skillful Cabbo team. Had a yarn with Braydon Trindall after it.

The brother is here smiling up - and he has picked a good side. Bourke look solid as. They walked through their match yesterday and now they are well on top of Narwan Eels Gold.

Bundjalung vs Walgett LIVE

Here we go - great sized morning crowd for this one.

Bundjalung kicked off right to left. First set in defence there was a couple big shots. Heard a few 'OUAA's' before Ben Barba lost the ball.

Bit of friendly fire from Walgett Joel Thompson copped a big head knock and had to go off. The Baygals solid set in attack and forced a repeat set.

Great D by Walgett shut down everything they got thrown at them. Great first set by WAC couple good offloads helped them out of trouble before they kicked the corner.

Knock on now from Bundjalung! They were able to hold the line though as Walgett again kicked them into the corner of the field.

CHANCE GONE! Inside ball from Cody split the Walgett defence. Daine Laurie backed up in support but then dropped it as Walgett scrambled. Tense stuff!

WAC made an error of their own coming out of their end giving Warriors another chance - but again Walgett held on!

TRY!!! Latrell Mitchell sends the winger down the sideline before backing up and beating a couple of defenders to open the scoring - he misses the goal WAC 4-0.

Both sides traded a few sets before Bundjalung with another error in the ruck.

Walgett peppered the defence and forced a line dropout - but they came up with an error deep into the set.

HALFTIME - WALGETT LEADS 4-0.

The air is tense here!

TRY!! Bundjalung get an early penalty and go on the attack - the ball spreads wide before the winger gets a clear run to the line - the conversion is missed, 4-all.

Walgett with some indecision on the last tackle but Bundjalung knocked the ball on soon after.

TRY! Latrell Mitchell crosses for his second beating a few defenders to the line - he nails the goal and its WAC 10-4.

Walgett complete their next set and kick deep - again Bundjalung come up with a handling error, but they were able to defend the set.

TRY!! Bundjalung threw a few passes too many as they looked to attack from their own half, but an intercept by Nathan Rose and he was under the posts. Latrell with the conversion and WAC are up 16-4.

Bundjalung with another chance gone begging - great break from the centre cutting in but his pass was too low to take.

TRY!! Cody Walker splits them from close and dives over - conversion is good - WAC 16-10 but just a minute or so to go.

FULLTIME - Walgett go through. What a match. Latrell Mitchell clearly the difference with his two crucial tries. They will play Dunghutti Connexions who just knocked out the Newcastle Yowies 16-all (first try).

Good morning and strap in!

Hey peeps,

Going to be some cracking encounters to kick us off this morning. First game live on both NITV and our Facebook page will be the Newcastle Yowies vs Dunghutti Connexions.

Over on Field 2 its going to be epic - Walgett vs Bundjalung - Latrell Mitchell vs Cody Walker. I will be doing my best to LIVE BLOG the action from that one for you here.

I did briefly talk to Codes, asking him 'You reckon you going to give it to Latrell?'

He said - 'Bra look at the size of him I’ll be lucky to tackle him lol'

We had a quick yarn with Matty Rose about the upcoming game.
