Grafton first grade stagged another stirring comeback against a committed Marlins outfit on Saturday running out winners 27-17.
With three-tries a piece, the goal kicking of Aaron Taylor and captain Kyle Hancock proved the difference in front of one of the biggest crowds witnessed at Rugby Park South Grafton.
Crucial errors from Grafton gifted the visitors two opportunist tries but somehow the Redmen remained in the contest rallying in defence to shut down the visitors attacking flair late in the game.
Two-try hero and hooker Sakenasa Hara proved a handful for the Marlins’ defence close to the line while Redmen linchpin and captain Kyle Hancock created plenty of scoring opportunities.
The clutch play came late in the second half when Hancock orchestrated a try to Country representative number-eight Ed McGrath who barged over from ten-metres out.
The win has Grafton firmly cemented firmly in fourth place on the ladder with a blockbuster away game against competition front-runners Coffs Snappers next week.
