NRC Rd 9: City Set For Semis After Comfortable Win Over Vikings

  by Paul Cook - Brisbane City will travel to Gosford for next Friday’s semi-final against the NSW Country Eagles after downing a spirited, if largely toothless, University of Canberra Vikings, 37-16 in a clash that doubled as a Bledisloe Cup curtain raiser at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday. Already assured of a top four finish, all City could do was go out and win and wait on other results to determine their location next weekend and a fast start had them 13-0 up and in control. The Vikings grew into the contest as half-time approached but were unable to trouble City’s line until the 46th minute when Jarrad Butler drove over. That only served to re-ignite City’s fire and a double from Jake Schatz and a late effort from Will Genia, who impressed with his second half appearance, was enough to see them home. City head coach
