TIME OF POSSESSION 24:33 35:27 17-13 with 9 minutes to play.
A couple more punts had time running out but Gill found the key. The Miners were
in Gills face all game with Lewis nailing 3 sacks and Andy Langi 3. Yet going to the no
huddle the Miners suddenly lacked the pass rush and Gill made hay. A 14 play drive
had the Marlins at the 2 yard line with Gill clocking the ball. He had one play left. He
dropped back to pass and the rush did come. After an initial look he was forced to
his unnatural left but knowing he had to throw it he saw Tyran Kambos in the rea
covered. He threw it anyway and Kambos fought throw the defender and made the
ball his. An amazing catch for an amazing finish. With just 7 seconds left this was the
match winner and Townsville keep on winning, the Miners now just about gone.
