Binalong U18s fall short of grand final win

Binalong led 6–4 at the break.

In half two, the Brahmans scored a converted try before Manildra was awarded a penalty try to lock it up 12–12. 

It stayed that way until full-time before Manildra scored the match-winning try in extra time.

The loss comes after the Brahmans’ 20–10 defeat of the Rhinos in a semi-final match two weeks prior.

The weather played havoc, where ball movements and kicking had the elements of rain and mud to contend with.

“Unlucky to our Brahman Claves who went down in a nail-biting game against Manildra. Hold your heads high, boys. You gave it your best shot,” the club said.

The club lost only two of 14 regular games, meaning it carries strong momentum heading into 2017.
