At Victoria Park, Yeppoon travelled up the highway to take on Brothers Blue in the Under 13 and 14 going down in both grades, the Seagulls gave Brothers an early fright before the undefeated Brothers side got away with the win in the Under 15s and in the UNDER18 game Yeppoon suffered their first loss for the year in a high quality match which saw all representative players back for the clubs from Capra’s duties.
