Eastern Suburbs have clawed their way back from an 18-0 deficit to defeat West Harbour 28-18 in the Round 10 Shute Shield clash at Drummoyne Oval on Saturday.

Wests showed that they will be a difficult proposition in the second half of the season for the competition’s top sides by scoring three tries with the wind at their backs.

They may well have only won three their nine games so far in 2021 but the addition of Alofa Alofa and Carlo Tizzano has given them some real edge.
