Bulldogs dish out a mauling to Newtown at Belmore
By Newtown Jets Media
The Newtown Jets were punished for a series of defensive lapses in Saturday’s match against the Canterbury Bulldogs at Belmore Sports Ground. The score was 6-all after 30 minutes in the first half, but the Dogs then scored five converted tries in the twenty minute period before and after the half-time break. The Jets rallied to pull back to 36-20 midway through the second half, but this just wasn’t going to be a day for death-or-glory comebacks like against Penrith at Allianz in July 2014 or last year’s phenomenal Reunion Day fightback against Manly-Warringah at Henson.
