Hooker, Jason Costigan also played strongly and picked up the maximum points while fullback Angus Whitehead was also prominent for the Dragons and picked up one point.

Franklin could not add the extras leaving the score at 10-0.

Beechwood half back and captain coach Mark Williams got his team’s pointscoring underway with a try and when lock Tom Lawson converted the score was a reasonable 10-6.

But the Dragons picked up a gear late in the first half and went over for tries to second rower Steve Robb in the 31st minute and Jason Costigan in the 34th minute.

Franklin converted both tries for a half time score of 22-6.

Typically, the Dragons went on with the demolition job in the second half to eventually run away with the game but the Shamrocks were valiant in their efforts.
