Shute Shield Round 4 Wrap: Randwick & Eastwood cause upsets & Norths scrap out a win
There were more upsets over the Anzac Day Long-ish Weekend, with Randwick and Eastwood posting somewhat surprising victories.
Norths came from behind to beat Manly, Warringah took care of Darren Coleman and the Stags and West Harbour were too good for the Two Blues at the new Parramatta Stadium.

Randwick 23-15 Eastern Suburbs
Randwick surprised most on Anzac Day, outlasting Easts to claim an important 23-15 victory, their first of 2019.
The Galloping Greens scored 20 unanswered points on either side of half time after trailing 8-3 in the first half.
“I think we built on our last few performances and were able to put together a more controlled display, without the costly errors that have hurt us in the opening rounds,” Randwick coach Hadley Jackson said.
“I thought our halves Brian Croke and Mitch Short controlled the game really well and Nick Wilkinson was dangerous in attack and strong in defence at inside centre.”
