The Campbelltown Harlequins played host to Vikings on Saturday with both first grade sides undefeated in the first three rounds. The Colts had a return match against Camden at home and the Women were on the road again, this time to Waverley.

In first grade, Vikings and the Harlequins went into this match at Campbelltown Showground undefeated.

The Harlequins started strongly to take an early lead off the back of three tries.

But the Vikings were in the game at half time before eventually succumbing to the Quinnies.

The final score was 27-17 to the Harlequins.

As well as the victory, the Harlequins ran in five tries to ensure another bonus point win.

Tries went to Halatoa Havea, Gregory Dunn, Nathan Glynn and Adam Choice (2).

Adam converted one of those tries, taking him to the top of the Harlequin pointscorers so far this season with 32 points in from rounds.

Next week the Harlequins firsts are away to Shamrocks.

♦ The Harlequin women’s team travelled to Waverley and in just their second game together the Harlequin girls continued to improve.

The match was evenly contested but the home side  made the most of the Quinnies mistakes to lead 10 – 5 with only a minute to go in the game.

The Campbelltown players defended for over 10 minutes with only 13 players due to two players being sin binned for controversial high tackles.

In the end Waverly ran out 17-5 winners. Faith Everingham scored a try  on debut off the back of some excellent backline play.

The girls travel to Sydney University for their next game and any ladies interested in playing please call 0404 829 356 or email campbelltownharlequins@gmail.com.

♦ The Harlequins colts had another strong performance at home against Camden, notching up a three try to two win.

♦ It was another tough game for the Harlequins third grade who went down to Vikings 24 – 17 in a close tussle.
