Gordon coach Darren Coleman doesn’t reckon that his Highlanders were rewarded enough for their lofty position on the Shute Shield competition ladder at the end of the home and away season.

The Highlanders finished minor premiers and squeaked their way into Week Two of the finals series on the back of a 15-14 win over Randwick on Saturday.

A penalty goal from fly half Rodney Iona in the final couple of minutes got them home in a game where the vast majority of the heavy lifting was done by the Galloping Greens.
