Young showed its determination in conditions that included hail and torrential rain and only have to beat Tumut at Alfred Oval this Sunday to lock in a home ground advantage for the preliminary final.
It is something captain-coach James Woolford is eyeing off.
“Tumut are going pretty good so we need to turn up and play well,” Woolford said.
“(Second) is massive with a home semi and if we win we are one win away from a grand final.”
While the hooker thought his team didn’t take a lot of their opportunities in the first half, he was pleased by their second half performance.
YOUNG 16 (R Manwaring 2, J Corcoran tries; J Corcoran 2 goals) d ALBURY 10 (L Wiscombe, S Smith tries; L Freeman goal). Full match report in Friday’s Witness.
