The visitors led 19-10 at half-time, but conceded 35 points to nil to fall, 45-19.

“As far as being a coach it is probably one of the more special wins I’ve ever had,” Ag College’s Will Mitchell said.

“Just the week that we’ve had with some of our players and lot of guys out, the guys stepped up and played really good footy.

“A fair bit of ticker got us over the line more so than footballing ability.”

The Steamers have now fallen out of the top five.

The fourth-placed students sit four points clear of Griffith, with another point back to the Border outfit.

There’s just four rounds left until finals.

The next round will have a major impact on the top five.

Steamers host Griffith, while third-placed Tumut is home to Ag College.

It was the first round back since the two byes due to representative action.
