In the 30th minute it was Tyler Jones who once again timed a perfect intercept to run 90m, scoring under the posts and the Bombala lads led 28 to 0.
However as the Heelers were winding down coming into half time Bega capitalised on an overlap and scored bringing the half time score to 28 to 6.

The Heelers eventually found their rhythm with the next points coming with Andrew Guthrie offloading to Joe Bobin who strode away linking up with a flying Zac Slater who scored for the Heelers.
