Northern United looking for much needed victory

Northern United will travel north looking for a much needed win on Sunday.



The Dirawongs will take on the Tweed Coast Raiders at Les Burger Field at Cabarita and will be looking to reverse recent losses to Cudgen and Mullumbimby.


The First Grade side has dropped to 7th spot on the ladder and will look for a solid effort against the Raiders, who sit 11th on the NRRRL ladder.


Fullback Hezekiah McKenzie has continued his good form, scoring a double against the Giants, to take his tally to 10 tries for the season, third in the competition.



McKenzie leads the NRRRL point scoring, with 102 points, 42 in front of second place.


The Dirawongs have missed the organisation and experience of Tyrone Roberts and James Roberts in recent weeks, with both hopefully returning this week.


Forward Djaan Jarrett celebrated a 100 game milestone last week and front rowers Clinton Williams, Anthony Thompson and hooker Jamahl Roberts will look to lead from the front against Tweed.



The day will kick off at 12:00pm with U/18's, followed by Reserve Grade at 1:15pm and First Grade at 2:45pm.
