GUTSY Ipswich Diggers halfback Jacob Teevan struggled to talk for much of the weekend after copping a nasty knock to the throat.
However, he managed to play in both Diggers battles during the latest round of Chairman's Challenge rugby league encounters against Brisbane sides.
Although the Diggers Open combination lost 50-12 to Brisbane Red on Saturday and 44-12 to Brisbane Blue this afternoon, Teevan enjoyed the Ipswich team experience despite his injury setback.
"It's always good going against some of those top Brissie teams,'' he said, lacing on the Diggers boots for the first time in senior football.
