Glen Innes Magpies vs Birchgrove Pistoleers
18-16
The Glen Innes Magpies rode a wave of penalties to their 6th win of the season today. The luckless pistoleers were there own worst enemy with repeated ruck infringements losing much territory for the Pistoleers. The win keeps the Magpies in the hunt for the eight while the Pistoleers fine start to the season is steadily being forgotten.
