Round 9 washed out
Due to South East Queensland’s inclement weather conditions, Round 9 of the URLQ competition was washed out.
The top of the table clash between the Griffith Dragons and the UQ Hounds never eventuated, with both sides forced to share the two competition points thanks to the monsoonal conditions. Griffith holds onto stop spot courtesy of their one point, while the Hounds slip down to third behind the fast finishing Trouts.
And with both sides out of finals contention, the Ironbarks and UQ Gatton Bulls have decided to postpone their match until week one of the semi’s.
Dragons Consolidate
The Griffith Dragons have extended their lead at the top of the 2009 URLQ Table courtesy of a scrappy 16-6 victory over the USQ Ironbarks at a chilly Griffith University’s Nathan campus last night.
The cold conditions obviously affected both sides handling, with the Dragons three tries to one victory keeping this season’s undefeated record intact.

On a typically chilly Toowoomba night, the Trouts routed the depleted USQ Ironbarks 40-4 in a one-sided affair, with the home side obviously missing the services of Queensland University representatives Matt Schultz and Robbie Peters, and injured backrower Eugene Seddon.
