Jets get home in a thriller against our long-time foundation club rivals

Newtown claimed two badly-needed competition points with a late intercept try by Edrick Lee.

There was very little in this game and although the Bears had a greater share of possession in the second half, Newtown’s determined and disciplined defence held the line when most needed. The scores were locked up at 12-all with eight minutes left to play, when the Torres Strait Islands Express, Edrick Lee, snapped up an intercept and raced ninety metres to score what was to be the winning try.
