These 2 teams put on a great game of rugby league leaving nothing in the tank, The Eagles scored first when Chris Standing hitting the gap stepping the fullback to score under the post to take a 6-0 lead. The defence was priority with both teams smashing each other to get the upper hand. With Picton having the majority of the ball they finally cracked the Eagles defence out wide and levelled it up 6 all at the break.
Picton came out strong and it wasn't long before they scored again to take the led 10-6 and when they scored with 20 minutes remaining you would think the game was Picton's to take. But the Eagles showed great spirit to hit back when Roland Gloss went over next to the posts, Michael Stevens hitting the upright missing the kick in difficult conditions for Picton to led 16-10, The Eagles fitness looked good as they come home strong and a try to Centre Vili Vai under the posts levelled the game at 16 all, The Eagles were very unlucky not to take the game when a field goal by John Da-Silva went under the cross bar.
