Roosters, Bang 36 firm as favourites in 9s

The SSG Roosters and Bang 36 are strong title contenders in the Moresby South Rugby League winning their matches in the JT Cup 9s yesterday.
Down 4-0 at the interval at the Sir Bill Skate Oval, the Roosters came back strongly to deny Pari 10- 4.
With the scores locked at 4-4 and with two minutes remaining, Roosters’ Junior Yambe came close to sealing the victory with a try but he was denied by the opposition.
It was a case of second time lucky when Yambe sliced through two defenders in the same set of six to score near the uprights, edging the Roosters ahead 8-4. Amon Leslie made sure of the conversion, extending the lead to 10-4.
The Roosters held on to win despite a strong fightback by Pari.
Bang 36 edged NBC Watch Dogs 12- 10 to advance through to the semi finals and keep their title ambitions alive.
