Katrina Fanning Shield: Round Five Wrap
The Blumers Lawyers Katrina Fanning Shield ladder continues to take shape after round five, with teams starting to stamp their authority in the competition.
Belconnen United Sharks 38 defeat Goulburn City Bulldogs 6
The Belconnen United Sharks have secured their first ever win in the KFS with a dominant 38-6 victory over the Goulburn City Bulldogs.
Sharks halfback Ella Kelly and backrower Emma Johnson were instrumental in securing the large win, both reaching the try line for a double.
The Bulldogs only try of the match came through prop Paige Cotterill burrowing over from close range.
Belconnen United will be filled with confidence when they face the Rams, who have had a strong start to the year, sitting in third position on the ladder.
Meanwhile, Goulburn look to rebound from this disappointing loss when they face the Queanbeyan Blues.
Queanbeyan Blues 28 defeat Woden Valley Rams 20
The Queanbeyan Blues have risen to the occasion once again, securing a nail biting 28-20 victory over the Rams in the top of the table clash.
The first placed Blues have put a target on their backs as one of the teams to beat this year, following a dominant performance against Yass last week, backed up by a tight win over an inform Rams outfit.
Queanbeyan's halves pairing, Briony Frater and Paige-Louise Condon, were pivotal in securing the eight point victory, playing a role in most scoring occasions, and both crossing for a try each.
The Rams weren't far off on Saturday, with their spine continuing to cause havoc on opposition defence and prove to be one of the strongest in the competition.
The Blues look to continue their winning streak against Goulburn, meanwhile the Rams look to get back in the winners circle against the Sharks.
Gungahlin Bulls 34 defeat Tuggeranong Bushrangers 6
The Gungahlin Bulls remain undefeated following a dominant victory over the Tuggeranong Bushrangers.
Caitlin Turnbull was outstanding across the park in her team's victory as she scored four of Gungahlin’s six tries.
The Bushrangers, who are still in search of their first win of the year, were only able to reach the line on one occasion through backrower Jasmine Claven.
The Bulls look to continue their success against Bungendore, whilst the Bushrangers have an opportunity to improve their game strategies with the bye this week.
