Katrina Fanning Shield 2022: Round Three Preview
« on: May 12, 2022, 10:02:45 AM »

The Blumers Lawyers Katrina Fanning Shield continues this weekend with its own instalment of ‘Magic Round,’ as eight teams will feature across four blockbuster games at Raiders Belconnen on Saturday.

UC Stars vs Queanbeyan Blues, Raiders Belconnen, 10:30am Saturday 14th May
The UC Stars will host the Blues to kick off magic round at their home ground, with both teams sitting in the top four after the first two rounds.


The Stars were dominant at home last weekend, recording a 30-6 win over the Raiders led by their forward pack which looked unstoppable.


Meanwhile, the Blues are one of three teams who are still undefeated after the first two rounds, with big wins over the Worhawks and South Coast United. 


The Blues have not conceded a single point all season, but after the Stars’ performance last week this could be their chance to make a statement to the rest of the competition.

Tuggeranong Bushrangers vs Harden Worhawks, Raiders Belconnen, 12pm Saturday 14th May. 
The Bushrangers will take on the Worhawks with both teams looking to score their first win of the season.


It hasn't been a great start for the Bushrangers who currently sit 0-2 with big losses to the Rams and Magpies.


The Worhawks have also had a poor start to the season, currently sitting in last position without scoring a try in the opening two games.


While we’re still in the early stages of the competition, both teams still have plenty to play for as a victory here could put the winner into the top five.

South Coast United vs Woden Valley Rams, Raiders Belconnen, 1:30pm Saturday 14th May
South Coast United will host the undefeated Rams in a game that could go down to the wire.


South Coast United currently sit 1-1 to start their season after going down 28-0 to the Blues last Saturday, after a horror start which put the game away early.


Meanwhile, the Rams are 2-0 to start the season which included a huge 46-0 win over the Worhawks in round two. The Rams were quick out of the blocks, going up 16-0 after the first 10 minutes and went into halftime with a 32-0 lead.
