Naiqama strolls through some non-existant defence to score a very easy try. Conversion successful. Dragons 8-0. 26th min: Ordinary game of footy unfolding here with both sides doing there best to empty the stadium by half time and at the current rate they should all be gone in about five minutes. 35th min: Nothing to report in this game apart from the hot dog vendor running out of BBQ sauce. Lacklustre comes to mind. Now, where's the mustard? HALF TIME: Not much happening tonight as the scoreline indicates with only one try in the first forty minutes. Both sides look lethargic and bored so we'll see which side wants it more in the second half. 41st min: Wake up everyone, the second half has begun! 47th min: TRY - Dragons. Willie Manu makes it look oh so easy as he crosses for the Dragons second try. Conversion successful. Dragons 14-0. 49th min: TRY - Knights. Hallelujah! Newcastle have scored through Clint Newton as this game shows a distinct sign of life. Conversion unsuccessful. Dragons 14-4. 57th min: PENALTY GOAL - Dragons. Naiqama kicks a penalty goal from 40 metres out while falling over and still manages to make it count. This game is now becoming spiteful with a spate of high shots from both teams. Josh Perry is on report and will be in strife come Monday. Dragons 16-4. 60th min: PENALTY GOAL Dragons. A game of Rugby looks to be unfolding here. Naiqama bags another two pointer.

George Carmont crosses out wide and have we got a finish for you ladies and gents. Strap yourselves in as the Knights look to win their first match of the year. Conversion successful. Dragons 18-16. FULL TIME: St George have held on to
win against the Knights who simply did
not have the class in the end to put the
Dragons away. Saints did everything in
their power to lose the game but Newcastle's
last play options were poor in the last
ten minutes. It was lack of experience
that cost the Knights but they did show
some ticker. |
