The game was highlighted by four tries to Nathan McDonald who lived up to his nick name “Slippery”.

Medowie showed more resistance than offered in their last 87 to nil encounter at Highbrook only two weeks earlier and made the Heelers outfit earn their field position and execute their moves to put the points on the scoreboard.

New loose forward Lachlan O’Shae was impressive in his first grade debut and will add another headache for the selectors when all players are available.

The Osborn’s Buses best and fairest points went to Mark Snow three, Lachlan O’Shae two and Nathan McDonald and Chris Edwards one.

Players player was awarded jointly to Nathan McDonald and Matt Gallagher

The Cross Country Kia Seconds provided the entertainment for the day with a tough 13 to nil win over the youthful Marauders.

This win has elevated the Heelers to fifth spot on the ladder and into semi final contention.

Mathew Kane scored two tries and Mitchell Googe kicked the penalty goal.

Alex Whylee, Graeme Thomas and new boys Dane Pittman and Ben Collier were all instrumental in the success.

Two senior players Tim Kane and Keith Googe were sin binned for the unusual period of five minutes. The Osborn’s Buses best and fairest points went to Matt Kane three, Ian Spicer two and Keith Googe one.

Players player was awarded to Josh Irwin.

The MES Resco Heeler Premier Colts (HPC) travelled to Singleton for the local derby on Friday night against the Bulls.

Coaching staff were confident of a close encounter and expectations of a win were on the cards.

The Bulls were more than prepared to square up after their first round defeat by the HPC.

A whirlwind start by Singleton saw them score two ties in the first six minutes and the Heelers were on the ropes in more ways than one.

From the squad of 20 at kick off only 13 remained standing at fulltime with one of those being in the sin bin.

Toby Fibbins, Joel Wright and Murray O’Keefe made welcome returns while Gavin Smith, James Dobie and Kurt Everingham gave their all and carried their wounds.

Ironically full time came with the awarding of a penalty try to Singleton for the final 59 to nil fulltime score.

The Osborn’s Buses best and fairest points went to Gavin Smith and Toby Fibbins 3, Chris Huggins 2, and Sam Heywood 1.

Players player was awarded to the popular Sam Heywood.

This week first and second grade are playing at Marcellan Park against Maitland with early kick offs and the Colts are playing University at Uni kicking off at 12.20pm.

Players should meet at Hotel Eatons at 8am for Roscoe and his 158 Osborn’s bus.
