The Magpies scored eight tries in their best performance of the year.

In the second minute, Glen kicked ahead for flying fullback Steve Reynolds to re-gather. He was held short of the line but Nick Ehsman kicked again and the Hawks were held in their own in-goal.

From the re-start, second rower Mark Mabbott stormed through the defence to score ten metres to the left of goal. Three minutes later, lock Tom McCarney charged across for a four-pointer and Glen led 10 - 0 after seven minutes. Sam Kiehne burrowed through a gap from dummy half in the 10th minute to score between the posts. Glen 16 - 0.

Inverell finally got into Glen’s danger zone and centre Daniel McLennan scored a determined try in the 12th minute. Soon after, their lock Mark Lewis charged across. Glen 16 - 10. But after this slump in concentration, Ehsman got Glen back on track with a smart try in the 23rd minute. Glen 20 - 10 at half-time.

After the break, Glen got back into their rhythm and it wasn’t long before impressive Micheal Adams charged across for a fine try in the corner. Ehsman added the extras with a great kick. Glen 26 - 10. Six minutes later, Joel Jackson found space and sent winger Luke Whan flying on an eighty metre sprint to the line. Jackson got his own try minutes later with a powerful burst leading to a sixty metre try. Glen 34 - 10.

Inverell’s best, second rower Corey Baker then scored a superb individual try but Adams pounced on a Jake Turner chip kick to score in the final minute.

Nick Ehsman was Glen’s leading light and had plenty of support from the likes of Adams, Mabbott, Sam Crossley and Ben Perkins while Jackson produced flashes of brilliance.

Inverell meet Guyra next Sunday at Tingha for a place in the grand final.
