The Yabbies were one of 15 teams to compete in the inaugural Boorowa Goldies Rugby Union Gala Day on Saturday, the Boorowa club officially opening its new facility at the Boorowa Showgrounds.
While rugby was the winner on the day, with no champion club declared, Yabbies captain-coach Ned Mullany said he was hugely pleased with his side's performance.
