Bullets hit finals target with victory

The consistent efforts of Azmen Sebastian and Ashley Dann have secured the Bullets a finals berth after a 14-7 victory over Touchy Feely on Thursday, May 17.

It was an incredibly intense first half as both teams started out matching each other try for try.

However, once Sebastian and Dann kicked into gear, it seemed impossible to stop them, leading to the Bullets building a narrow lead by half-time.

After the main break, the Bullets were quick to continue building their lead, although Touchy Feely were really starting to put the pressure on them.

Siblings Cooper and Safie Matthews managed to achieve the seemingly impossible with two consecutive last-gasp touches against Sebastian and Dann, giving Touchy Feely a bit of hope to take out the match.

Despite Touchy Feely giving great chase, the Bullets were just too quick, taking out the match by seven points and securing an automatic spot in the semifinals.

Joining them in the division 1 semifinals are ladder-leaders Sharks after achieving a 16-7 victory over the Roey Roosters.
