Two blues take on local rivals
Wednesday 7 May, 2008 10:00am
CABRAMATTA Two Blues face heavyweight contenders Mounties in Sunday's local derby with a 38-30 win under their belt.
They led Belrose 26-0 at half time at Cabramatta Sports Ground in Jim Beam Cup rugby league on Saturday before the northern beaches side staged a comeback.
Fortunately for Cabramatta, the revival came too late and they clinched their win in the dying stages of the round six encounter.
Francis Vaiotu, Ross Brown, Louis Vaiotu, Si'ikaeha Teaupa and Johnothon Russell all crossed the line to give Cabramatta its third win of the season.
``We felt like we were going to win all the time,'' Cabramatta assistant coach Corey Ruttle said.
But Ruttle admitted the side can't afford to drop its focus if it is to upset Mounties in round seven.
``We have to concentrate the whole 80 minutes ... keep on playing well for the whole 80, not switching off for periods of the match,'' he said.
The undefeated Mounties boast some of the best defence in the Jim Beam Cup.
Cabramatta's form, however, is inconsistent.
They are capable of inflicting embarrassing triumphs (they crunched Erina 40-6 in round three) but have also fallen victim to heavy defeats (Sydney Bulls beat them 66-22 last month).
