backline sent centre Brock Aynsley
on a 60-metre jaunt to open the
scoring. Tim Phillips converted.

Hooker Greg Cook then sent
the home crowd into a frenzy with
a 40-metre run that included two
fakes that froze defenders in their
tracks. His luck ran out within a
metre of the line, but Dan
Forthuber followed up to put
United up by twelve. Phillips
added two and the visitors side-
lines became rather silent.

First-year speedster Brian
McCatyn (Terry Fox HS) added
the third try and the subsequent
convert saw the Brits looking up at
a 21-point deficit.

Aynsley had another try in his
grasp, but chose to pass and the
ball was knocked on right at the 5-
metre line.

An early Brits score in the sec-
ond half got everyone’s attention.
Then a United player was red-
carded for a dangerous tackle and
the visitors made it 21-10.

Another score would have had
the locals worried, but Forthuber,
now inserted at centre, set up
McCatyn for another long run
where he left the Brits fullback
looking like a piece of the scenery.

Phillips made his fourth con-
version of the day. A score at the
whistle brought the Brits to within
28-15. It was great to have Dan
Forthuber on the pitch, as he had
missed several games after suffer-
ing a broken bone in his hand at
the national team trials last fall.
