Analysis: The Dubbo Derby Review

The Round 5 clash between Dubbo CYMS and Dubbo Macquarie Raiders lived up to the hype. CYMS proved why they are the benchmark, completing over 80% of their sets and punishing the Raiders through the middle. While Macquarie showed flashes of brilliance with their expansive play, defensive lapses in the final ten minutes allowed CYMS to clinch a 28-24 thriller at Apex Oval.
