The good form of the Warwick Cowboys continued in their round seven clash with Brothers at Glenholme Park on Saturday.
The club came away with a clean sheet winning all three grades.
It was a gutsy performance from the A Grade side who faced a determined Brother’s outfit. Ultimately the Cowboys had too much firepower and the win puts them into the top five for the first time this season and within reach of the quartet leading the competition.
It was perhaps the Cowboys most polished display this season and built on the improvements shown in last week’s win against Oakey.
There was not much between the sides in the early stages of the game as they traded tries. Fullback Mitch Watson played arguably his best game of the season as a patient Cowboys side proved too good for the home team.
Sam Broomhill also had a good game while Byron Creighton slotted well into the starting hooker’s role. Captain and five eighth Mick Bloomfield picked up a try as did Dustin Close, and Sam Broomhill as the Cowboys finished strongly. Winger Tyrelle Ross put the game out of reach crossing for a double.
Matt Marshall took over the kicking duties from his captain and slotted three from five as the Cowboys recorded a 34-18 win.
Mitch Watson picked up three Webcke Price medal points while Sam Broomhill received one point. It was no surprise following his strong performance that Watson was named Players Player .
This week the Cowboys host Valleys on Sunday afternoon in what is sure to be another tough game.
