The Cherrypickers were pushed early by Temora, but managed to come away with a 44-22 win at Alfred Oval on Sunday.
The two teams went try for try in the first half to come into the break at 18-all, and it was a trend that continued in the second stanza before the Cherrypickers were able to string together successive tries.
It is the second time in as many weeks a late flurry of tries has given the Cherrypickers the win.
Captain-coach James Woolford thought the team’s fitness, and a better handling effort, came to the fore in the second half. “We found it really hard to complete a set after points and let them back into every single time we got a try,” Woolford said.
“They capitalised on our mistakes but towards the middle of the second half we got to what we needed to do, completed a few in a row and they started to crack a bit more.”
