Gladiators just edged out in physical contest
THE Mareeba Gladiators were just edged out by the Yarrabah Seahawks in a physical game over the weekend.
The Gladiators made the trek down to Yarrabah on Sunday and fell just short of a win with the final score being 32-26.
The game came down to the final seconds as Mareeba marched themselves down the field in a last-ditch effort to even the scores.
Although they managed to find themselves just metres from the tryline, Yarrabah was able to hold them out and seal the game.
Mareeba try scorers were prop Ash Litte, debut winger Ashton Martin, and fullback Bronson Ryan who earned himself a hattrick.
The other Mareeba grades had unfortunate results as well, with their Reserve Grade side going down 14-40 and the Under 19s also losing 22-26.
This weekend all teams will have a bye. Mareeba will return next weekend where they will host the Tully Tigers at Davies Park, Mareeba on Saturday 21 June.
The Under 19s will gets things underway from 3pm, followed by Reserve Grade at 4.30pm, and A Grade at 6pm.
