Souths put up a tough fight against the formidable Blackhawks on Saturday but unfortunately walked away without the win.
On Saturday our Tilermade Hostplus Cup squad were playing for all of the special women in their lives on Saturday for the Hostplus Cup Women in League Round proudly supported by Harvey Norman.
Townsville started the game strong getting 16 unanswered points on the board in the first 25 minutes. However, Souths fought back with determination to bring the score to 22-22 into the second half.
Unfortunately, Blackhawks proved the better side on the day and forged thier way to a 40-22 win at their home ground.
Souths showed resilience coming back from a 16-0 deficit, however the game highlighted big areas for improvement on both sides of the ball. While their determination was evident, so were the issues that put them behind early in the game.
Coming into another bye weekend, the team has ample opportunity to review and regroup before heading into two straight games in front of a home ground at Davies Park.
