UNDER 18'S STRONG 2ND HALF FROM COOMA ENDS COBARGO'S SEASON
Cooma 32 Cobargo 20

The under 18 Match provided some great football from both sides as the match appeared to be played in patches with both sides dominateing for periods of play.

Cobargo opened the scoring in the 1st set with a great cut out pass from Blake Robinson putting winger Tony Hoyer over.

A poor kick and chase from Cobargo allowed Cooma fullback Mitchell Lynch to beat 3 defenders and run 80 metres to score under the post. Cobargo made matters worse with a mistake from the kick off and Cooma grabbed another try through centre Zeb Leoroyd to lead 10-4.

A short kick off by Cobargo saw them regather the ball and in the set Tony Tarlington charged over. Bobby Taylor converted to level scores at 10 all.

The Stallions though were controlling the ball slightly better and five eight Zach Smith created room for a good run by Liam Pepper and as the Stallions then shifted the ball to the left their centre Zeb Leoroyd crossed for his 2nd try. This was followed by a try to Pepper himself following another mistake by Cobargo with the ball. Smith converted both tries and Cooma led 22-10 at half time. Cobargo started the 2nd half and actually controlled the ball well putting the Cooma defence under the pump. Backrower Aiden Griffiths crossed out wide after they created extra man on the left edge and this was followed by Cameron Thomas charging over after he had taken a brilliant catch of a Cooma kick and race 40 metres to score. Jason Gannon converted the try and they had got back into the game trailing by just 2 points

Cooma 22 Cobargo 20.

Any hope the Eels had was quickly put to rest and it was Fullback Mitchell Lynch who firstly tackled a Cobargo player into touch and then hit a hole on the left edge to score. Zac Snith converted and Cooma led 28 points to 20.

Centre Zeb Leoroyd scored in the final few minutes of play to see Cooma run out winners 32 points to 20 and progress to the Preliminary Final.

For Cobargo Blake Robinson was creative and Tony Tarlington from fullback created problems for the Cooma defence everytime he got involved. Replacement Bobby Taylor was amounst their best while Cameron Thomas proved he can make breaks when he gets involved.

The Stallions were best served by fullback Mitchell Lynch, Centre Zeb Leoroyd and Front rower Ryan Stores. Five Eight Zach Smith through some nice passes at times but seemed more intent on baiting the opposition then concentrating on his own game.
