Dragons continue surge while Sharks suffer defeat

06 Jul, 2009 11:08 AM
ST GEORGE Illawarra's winnings ways continued on Friday night while another competitive performance from Cronulla was not enough to secure them victory on Saturday night.

Returning to WIN Jubilee Stadium in front of a moderate crowd of 12,462 people the Dragons overcame a poor start to pile on 28 unanswered second half points.

The Roosters led 12-6 at half-time before a Jamie Soward led second stanza saw the home side cruise to a 34-12 victory.

While Cronulla travelled to Townsville to face North Queensland.

Minus Origin reps Trent Barrett and Paul Gallen, Cronulla again tried hard but the class of Cowboys Matt Bowen and Johnathan Thurston proved decisive in the end.

Despite a rare nil-all half-time score, North Queensland finished the match 24-4 victors.
