KILLARNEY Cutters star Michael Bloomfield scored a late try to ensure a final victory for his team in the Border Rugby League Robin Round at Charlie Andrews Oval, Killarney.

The round robin was played in conjunction with the visit of the Continuous Call Team to Cutters country.

Event co-ordinator John Towells said Saturday went well on and off the field.

"The games were all close in the round robin," he said.

"As well as the Continuous Call Team, retired internationals Colin Scott, Wally Fullerton-Smith, Shane Webcke and Killarney father and daughter international pair Rohan and Stephanie Hancock were in town and all mingled with the crowd and signed autographs."

In the final, there were no scores in the first half before Tenterfield scored in the 6th minute of the second half to lead 4-0.

Killarney then took the lead after Coedie Tandy scored under the posts and Dion Galloway converted.

Bloomfield scored with three minutes to go. Galloway converted for a 12-4 victory.

Coedie Tandy, John Trindall and Michael Marshall impressed for the home side along with Wesley Murray who played his first game in the BRL.

Brendan Minns was outstanding for Tenterfield in his triple roles as five-eighth, captain-coach and club president.

Texas returned to the competition, but had some injuries in its second game which was eventually called off late in the first half. Bennett

Sutton was the best for the young Terriers combination.

Stanthorpe went into the round robin with some players unavailable due to cricket. Andrew Thorne and Geoff Swan both played well.

BRL secretary Perditta O'Connor said the day was outstanding.

"The organisation from the Killarney end was fabulous, the crowd and atmosphere was great and the footy was excellent for a season opener," O'Connor said.

"Central division chairman Danny McGuire was at the round robin and said he was impressed with the standard of footy and the whole day."

Border Rugby League fixtures start in a fortnight with Wallangarra having the bye in Round 1 after major upgrading of their field in the off season. Wallangarra didn't play in the round robin.

A squad will be selected this week to go to the South West trials at Miles on April 12 and will be vying for spots in the South West Country representative team.
