With Heath's first and last game for the season on the line the 3rds rose to the challenge of the Southern Lions 3rd grade team. The game started well with Arnie getting across the line within the first 10 minutes, however it took until the second half to get another try for the goats - courtesy of a blind side run by Craig. Another try by super sub Aidan put the 3rds in a comfortable lead, but then the foot came off the pedal and a lack of focus let the Lions get two tries and a sniff of victory with only a 5 point margin. Then with a few minutes left in the game, Craig was able to score a second try with a supreme solo effort to gain the bonus point that was so elusive last year, and secure the victory.
