08th Jul 2025

The Super Spuds took an important step towards a semi final berth with a scrappy win over the Moree Boomerangs at the New Red Hill on Sunday.
In their last home game of the year, the Spuds were never behind on the scoreboard, but had to stave off a dangerous Moree side late in the day.
Robert Sisson opened the scoring for Guyra with an intercept and an easy run to the line for a 6-nil lead.
Corey Torrens then ran it himself and crashed over for Guyra’s second and it was 10-nil.
The Rangs showed they were not going to lie down with their first try coming against the run of play.
When Dylan Sutton latched on to an offload from Rave Brazier and spun out of a tackle to score it was 14-4 to the home side, until the Rangs posted another try just before the break to go to the sheds at 14-8.
In the second half Brazier scored one of his own when he ran onto an inside pass from Cormack Hume to make it 20-8.
However, every time the Spuds kicked clear a mistake would let the Rangs back in it and this allowed the lead to narrow to 20-18.
Matt Sisson scored what looked like the try of the day for the Spuds but it was called back and it took a Riley Campbell four-pointer to extend the lead to 24-18.
Moree levelled the scores and threatened to go ahead, but with 10 minutes to play Torrens found Tahmani Landsborough unmarked out wide and the winger put Guyra up 28-24.
A couple of key defensive stops allowed the Spuds to keep that lead and in the last five minutes they managed to seal the win with a second great try to Rave Brazier and an unusual one on the stroke of fulltime to Angus Brazier after a missed field goal attempt.
The final score was 38-24 and flattered the Spuds, but ensures they stay in fourth spot.
Club points went to Robert Sisson (3), Archie Dowden (2) and Angus Brazier (1), while Rave Brazier was voted players’ player.
The Spudettes didn’t get the result in the earlier game, going down 28-4.
The only try-scorer for Guyra was Lorissa Wilson, who split the Moree line right on halftime to keep Guyra in it at 12-4.
Moree was too good in the second half with three more tries, but the Spudettes also remain in fourth place.
Kiarna Landsborough was players’ player and earnt two club points, while Danielle Sutton picked up three points and Katie Ahoy one.
This Saturday the Guyra teams make the short trip to Armidale to face Narwan.
