Birchgrove Pistoleers Vs Northern Territory Lions
24-29
Reg Randell played the hero and the villain in todays shootout with the Pistoleers. A two try performance was made look bad by his shaky boot. In what turned out to be a thriller, Randell missed four simple conversions almost costing his side the match. He made up for this in the last ten minutes scoring another five points with his boot to seal the match at 24-29. The lopsided penalty count carrying the visitors to a hard fought win.
