Jimboomba Thunder fall to late try

Jimboomba struggled for consistency throughout the match and were beaten on the bell to lose by four. Strong efforts from Michael Paulo, Matty Poelitz, Jamie Cahill and Jesse McCullough were highlights in a game marred by a lack of  discipline and ball handling.

Jimboomba Thunder 7s continued to show rapidly developing skills in attack, while being extremely impressive in defence against a tenacious opposition the Helensvale Hornets.  

Player of the match Tye Johnston put on a defensive display consisting of one strong tackle after another, while Alex Holmes, this weeks positive or its pointless award winner, played a full game at dummy half and showed great courage in defence towards the back end of the game.  

Thunder 7s are having a great start to the 2016 season.
