A pile of unforced errors after half-time cost the visitors dearly.

Yass scored the game’s opening try and trailed 16-14 at the main break. Bega thrived on their opposition’s errors, posting two tries shortly after half-time to jump to a 26-14 lead.

Boyd Roche helped claw back the deficit with a converted try, but a dropped ball from the ensuing kick-off invited Bega to score points. They did just that.

The home side ran in three tries to finish the match with a handsome 40-20 win and progress to the final 16.

Bega awaits the winner of the Riverina division in the next round.
