The Under 16s Cherrypickers had a very tough game against an enthusiastic Tumut side but ended up with a 12-6 win. The first half going from end to end until Ned Evans from Young crashed over beside the posts with Lucas converting the kick to make it 6 nil. five minutes before half time Tumut put a kick up to score in the corner making it 6 all at half time. In the second half Young crossed the line three times but had them all disallowed due to what the ref called forward passes but Young being the side they are they never gave up and finally Josh Baker scored and Lucas converted making the final score 12-6. Players player was Josh Baker. Rematch of last years grand final this Saturday at 11am between Young and Cootamundra make sure you don't miss what should be a great game of footy- Brad Pettit

League tag
The Cherryette’s just did not play to their best last weekend and they were lucky to get away with the win. From the kick off the girls just had not switched on. Lazy tags and dropped balls did not help them but in the first three minutes the Cherryette’s were able to go over for a lucky try from Victoria Hegyi where she caught them in an overlap – her first try for the season. Taking the lead 4-0. Within minutes of the second half beginning Jess McInerney put Anna Hall through for a try under the posts, Laura Eastlake successfully converted the try. Our speedy Gonzalez Ash Carroll (who played the in the Riverina team on the Saturday) was able to put a few fake passes in and get a 70m try. However, simple missed tags and a sloppy defensive line gave the Blues the opportunity to score again right near the post. Taking the score to 12-16 with five minutes to go, this saw the Cherryette’s defend the best they could all game. They were able to keep them out and the full time score being 16-12 to the Cherryette’s. Elevations Restaurant’s players player went to Sophie Mewton. The girls will need to work extremely hard this week at training as they are taking on the Bulldogs who have just came off a massive win 50-0 over Tumut.- Jess Mcinerney
