UNFORCED errors at the back end of Sunday’s match have again proved costly for the Atherton Roosters who fell 32-28 to the Yarrabah Seahawks in their FNQ Rugby League Premiership Clash on Yarrabah soil.
The Roosters led 28-22 with ten minutes of play remaining before allowing Yarrabah over for two late tries which sealed the victory.
Atherton’s first half was strong, and they took a 18-12 lead to the break.
Jyde Dwyer’s third match try at the 70th minute put the Roosters up 28-22 and they looked to be on top of their opposition heading for the final siren.
A dropped ball on the second tackle kick started the Roosters down fall and more errors followed.
Loaded with all the ball possession, Yarrabah went onto punish the Roosters in the final 10 minutes with their two late four pointers.
Yarrabah took the reserve grade points 72-10 over the Roosters and won the under 18 match 34-32.
This Saturday, the Senior Roosters play at Innisfail in three grades from 3pm.
