The Jetstar Gold Coast Titans Under-20s have notched their second win of the season with a solid 30-20 win over the Broncos in round six of the NYC at Skilled Park.

Having not tasted victory since an opening round win over the North Queensland Cowboys, it took another Queensland derby to bring out the best in the young Titans.

Hooker/halfback Kayne Lawton scored a try and kicked five goals from as many attempts for a personal haul of 14 points while Shannon Walker, Jordan Rapana, Tom Kingston and Brodie Williams all chimed in with tries.

The Titans' NYC side now take on trans-Tasman rivals New Zealand at Skilled Park next Sunday.

GOLD COAST 30 (S Walker, J Rapana, K Lawton, T Kingston, B Williams tries; Lawton 5 goals)
defeated BRISBANE 20 (J Yow Yeh, T Butterfield, J McGuire, M Rivett tries; B Hunt 2 goals)
Venue: Skilled Stadium

Broncos NRL and NYC teams for Titans clash
Tue April 15, 2008
Brisbane will travel an hour south on Friday night when they do battle against the Gold Coast Titans at Robina's Skilled Park stadium.

It'll be the Broncos first match on Australia's most popular holiday strip since 2001 when they moved a home match to Carrara Stadium. Captain Darren Lockyer will be missing with David Stagg selected to start at five-eighth. Justin Hodges will continue to captain the Broncos in Lockyer's absence after being cleared of a neck injury.

Originally the match was scheduled to be played at Suncorp Stadium, but the NRL announced on 23d January 2008 that the clash would be switched to Skilled Park with the venue for the corresponding match in Round 24 between the two clubs now being Suncorp Stadium (previously scheduled as Skilled Stadium). This change is due to scheduling restrictions at Suncorp Stadium during the Heritage Round weekend.

A capacity crowd is expected for the match and supporters from both sides are urged to pre-purchase tickets.

Kick off for Friday's NRL clash will be 7:30pm with the popular Toyota Cup competition match between the Broncos and Titans to start two hours earlier.
