The Under 15s will play at Parramore Park at Wagga.

Under 10s, 11s, 12s, 13s and the 13s league tag will take to the field on Saturday, as well as all of the other Northern pool teams playing semi-finals. 

We ask for lots of helpers for ground set-up and break down, as there are a few extra tents and fences to set up this week. 

The canteen will also need lots of helpers, so if you can commit to a stint let us know. 

We will also need helpers to pop in throughout the day.

We need to provide a timekeeper for two games all day. Perhaps a few mums or dads would like the best seat in the house for a game or two.

Parking will be at a premium as usual on big days like this. I encourage all Cherrypickers to park at Alfred oval and cross the railway to Keith Cullen. This will help save congestion and probably save you a walk.

Remember teams, the hard work you have put in this year has earned you this opportunity. That counts for nothing now. Prepare well, play hard and represent your jumper well!

Good luck.

Corbutts Tyre Service Under 10 ‘Pickers had a convincing 54-4 win over a Wagga Brothers side that never gave up. 

Young got off to a great start, scoring first before Brothers hit back to make the score 6-4.

The ‘Pickers decided to put their foot down and go to the half time break with a 24-4 lead. 

The second half didn’t get any better for Wagga with Young continuing to rack up plenty of points. 

Brock Sing and Lochie Pratt scored three tries each in a dominant display of power and skill, with Clay Sing and Under 9 players Corey Lucas, Josh Noakes, Billy Corcoran and Charlie Croker all scoring a four pointer. Charlie, Josh, Brodie Apps, Lochie and Max Jones all kicked goals. 

The forward  really showed they have what it takes to lead the team deep into the semi-finals with dominant display from Dallas Dwyer, Joey Anderson, Abe Forbutt  and Brodie Apps. 

In the backs Sam Graziani and Max Jones caused nothing but trouble for Wagga, making breaks at will and defending strongly. 

This week sees the return of Jack McIllhatton and Locke Croker to the side which is sure to add confidence to the teams attack and defence. However, this week’s game is sure to be a lot different coming up against a massive Cootamundara side in a must-win game for both teams to keep their premiership hopes alive. I know their coach and parents know they are up to the challenge if they play their best footy which is what finals football is about! 

Could all Under 10s players be at the oval by 8.15am please! 

Best of luck boys.
