Ballers Straight Up Ball’ To Claim Mixed Title
Ballers have re-gained the Stafford Mixed title with an emphatic 11-2 win over Too Out Of Touch on Wednesday night.
Sitting on top of the table after the fixture rounds, Ballers were faced with an uphill battle with the absence of their captain and Queensland Origin representative Jess Sleep. Those fears were put to rest early as her side raced to an early 5-0 lead.
Middle men Jake Coolwell and Vanni Lettieri ensured the scoreboard ticked over regularly as the pair combined for six tries and three try assists.
Queensland star Brayden Barrett grabbed two of his own in the final hit out before the July 17th Origin match.
Jake Coolwell opened the scoring by stepping through some feeble defence in the opening two minutes. His trademark step would be on full display as he put on Brayden Barrett’s second try and Adriano Gaile’s first, late in the second half.
Player of the match Vanni Lettieri scored two of his own off the boot, before putting in a lovely kick down the sideline for Brayden Barrett to race away and score.
A chip and chase on the siren yielded Lettieri a first half hat-trick and killed off any momentum Too Out Of Touch had heading into the break.
Coming off an upset win over second placed Slappers in last week’s semi-final, Too Out Of Touch had nothing to lose heading into the second half.
Jack Newton drew first blood after pouncing on a ricocheted kick in the in-goal by Chris Honnery.
The joy with short-lived with Lettieri notching up his fourth try of the match, before a near-length of the field effort from Ben Hayes blew the score out once again.
Queensland debutant Chris Honnery would stem the flow touching down off a crisp short ball from Shannyn Hermann.
The result was sealed moments later when Jake Coolwell latched onto errant pass and ran 45 metres score, followed by a Zac Jane try assist to send Brad McKinlay over for his first try of the season.
