This week’s inter town games will be played on Friday night to allow players time to travel to Wagga’s Harris Park to do battle with Turvey Park on Saturday morning.
There will be a barbecue and canteen facilities available on Friday night.
All players are encouraged to travel to Wagga to play on Saturday morning. It’s a great chance to get some extra footy and to explore a new town.
We need to fill teams in all ages from 6s to 15s.
Peculiarities in the draw with some clubs missing teams means that under 16s girls again miss out on a game.
This is disappointing.
They will definitely play the following week.
This system also means our Under 14s will travel to Temora to play this week.
This should be the only time it happens to them.
After missing a game last week, I know they would rather travel and I’m sure they will give the Dragons a hard game.
“Last week was a successful start with the rep teams performing strongly,” club president Nick Hall said.
“Some of our teams really performed as a unit and I’m looking for them to keep showing this good attitude in coming weeks as the opposition gets stronger.
“It’s great to have footy on again.
“The boys and girls are training and playing hard and parents and friends are providing a great atmosphere at Keith Cullen Oval.”
It was appreciated when many new parents came and helped in the canteen last week.
Fathers such as Jeremy Murphy did short stints and it made things go very smoothly.
Everyone is encouraged to come on Friday night as well as travel to Wagga on Saturday, support the kids and watch some great footy.
Draw for Friday night games are as follows:
6pm
Under 7 Panthers vs Sharks
Under 9 Souths vs Storm
Under 11 Tigers vs Roosters
6.40pm
Under 7 Broncos vs Eels
Under 9 Warriors vs Manly
Under 11 Knights vs Bulldogs
