Due to face the Titans at Piggabeen Sports Complex as part of a four-game program, the Seagulls were forced to move the game to Tugun due to rain but it could not stop them from recording a four-tries-to-two win.

“It was pretty wet and (there were) a fair few errors but overall it was a good hitout for both teams,” Seagulls chief executive Paul Stephenson said.

Ben Woolf’s side (7pm), as well as the club’s under-18s (4pm) and under-20s (5.30pm), will now travel to Acacia Ridge on Saturday to face Souths Logan.
