NEW recruit John Trindall scored five tries as the Killarney Cutters beat Goondiwindi Maroon 70-0 in round 1 action in the Border Rugby League on Saturday at Charlie Andrews Oval.

Backline star Michael Marshall scored four tries and landed seven goals for a personal tally of 30 points.

Goondiwindi Maroons coach Andrew Robinson was happy with the young Boars in their first club game of the year.

"After watching the round robin a fortnight ago, we always knew this was going to be a hard game for the young team," he said.

"Killarney came out the way we thought they would with the likes of John Trindall leading the forward pack, making easy metres up the middle.

"We can take a lot out of the game as the Cutters are the form team. Our side was down on numbers on the bench compared to Killarney."

John Trindall (Killarney) and Adam Tribe (Goondiwindi) were both sin binned.

Trindall, Marshall, Jake Kitching and Nick Parfitt were the best for Killarney. Jeremy Gadd, Adam Tribe and Liam McInnes played well for Goondiwindi.
