Queanbeyan Kangaroos 60 (Tries: B Crisp 3, Tolokana Aroha-Tuinauvai, M Connolly 2, J Dent, J Essex, J Simbiken 2, T Whiley; Goals: B Crisp 8) d Goulburn Workers Bulldogs 6 (Tries: C Hart; Goals: B Hewitt)
The Goulburn Workers Bulldogs’ finals hopes were dealt a blow as they suffered a 60-6 loss at the hands of the Queanbeyan Kangaroos at Seears Workwear Oval on Saturday afternoon.
Having suffered consecutive losses against the Tuggeranong Bushrangers and the Queanbeyan Blues, Goulburn needed an upset win but a Brent Crisp masterclass blew the Bulldogs away.
Starved of possession in the first half, the Roos made their limited opportunities count as they took a 16-6 lead into halftime.
However, the second half was a different story and with Tyler Cornish not returning to the field for Goulburn after halftime, Queanbeyan ran rampant.
A hat-trick from Brent Crisp turned the tide firmly in Queanbeyan’s favour, with his third try a magnificent length of the field run.
As the game wore on, the Kangaroos continued to pile on the points as Troy Whiley scored the final try to give the Kangaroos a 60-6 win.

The Yass Magpies returned to winning ways with a vital 24-22 win over the fourth placed Tuggeranong Bushrangers.
With only two points separating the two sides heading into the round, Yass raced out to a 24-8 halftime lead with Steve Naughton adding two tries.
However, the Bushrangers returned galvanised after the break and threatened to defeat Yass for the second time this season.
