According to the statement released by the club the decision to pull out was not an easy one, however with only two weeks until the season kick off there were only five players registered with the club.

ACT Rugby had allowed the local side extra time to recruit players, but time ran out so the draw could be amended to readjust to the withdrawal.

Any Under 16s locally who would still like to run on the field are invited to join the Yabbies Under 18s side.

Training for all grades is at 5.30pm every Wednesday at Cranfield Oval and anyone with inquiries please contact Noel Schiller on 0447837331.
