Final spot for Wattles after Ragh Trophy win

RUGBY LEAGUE: Wattles have secured a spot in the June 17 Madsen Rasmussen Trophy day after a 70-14 win against Souths at the weekend.

The team from the Allora and Clifton areas won the Ragh Family Trophy in the game.

With only one week of games left in round 1, Wattles are assured of one of the two spots in the final.

Andrew Richardson scored three tries for Wattles and wingers Braydon Wilson and Blake Lollback scored two each.

Acting captain Dale Perkins scored two tries from the front row.

Wattles have the bye this weekend so will finish the first 11 weeks of the season with nine wins and 18 competition points.

Valleys have also lost only one game, so could join Wattles on 18 points after this weekend.

Highfields have seven wins so will need a lot going their way to make the trophy game in A-grade.

Cowboys fourth on table

THE Warwick Cowboys moved back into the winner's circle with a 54-20 win against Oakey at Father Ranger Oval on Saturday night.

After leading by eight points at the break, three quick tries lifted the home side and put away their rivals.

Warwick coach Phil Economidis said his side maintained their composure during the match.

"We were more disciplined in the second half. Oakey kept compounding the situation with blokes in the bin, hence there was a fairly substantial penalty count which we capitalised on,” Economidis said.

"In the end it was a case of actually getting too many opportunities. We scored some great tries due to the fact we were getting so many, but we pushed a lot of passes in scoring positions.”

The Cowboys did it without regular hooker Ben Sullivan who was away with the Central Crows, and it was his younger brother Harry who stepped up to score a double.
