UNDER 13s - Phil Coddington (Coach)
The Under 13s Pickers continued on the winning start to the season with a scrappy win against the Wagga Kangaroos 32-6.
The forwards all standing tall with great hit up's and solid defence which let the back use their speed and agility to do the finishing touches with some great hole running by Oz McCann who scored a double.
Big Keithy (Nic Bailey) continued his great start to the year with a man of the match effort.
UNDER 14s - Ben Mott (Coach)
Saturday's round 4 encounter was another tough home game for the Under 14s Cherrypickers.
The game was a very tough, free flowing affair against Wagga Kangaroos and the boys were very brave as we have come to expect but we just couldn't find the calm head or polish we needed to get the victory going down 18-16.
The Under 14s opened the scoring with another great dummy half effort.
The game was a back-and-forth affair with Roos taking the lead and leading from then on and a brilliant long range solo effort in the corner with time winding down dragged us back to 18-16.
Unfortunately, in the dying moments this week the Cherrypickers were unable to muster another miracle and although outscoring our opponents 4 tries to 3 we experienced our first loss for the season.
Injuries and illness have been starting to take their toll with us being unable to field the same side twice this season and we haven't had a full side of 14s yet this season and I have to mention the great help we are getting from our Under 13s who are playing up and helping us out.
They're playing key roles in our side and playing great football.
All are contributing substantially during our games, and we are very grateful they are willing to help us out.
Try scorers were Jarryd Foster with a double and Harry Coddington and Jesse Thorp with 1 each.
Unfortunately, in tough windy conditions and tries scored out wide no conversions were successful.
UNDER 15s - Peter Butcher (Coach)
Data from Play Rugby League: Young Cherrypickers 42 v Wagga Kangaroos 0.

UNDER 12s LT - Hayley Coddington (Coach)
Under 12s league tag played a great game on Saturday managing to come away with a win after being down 10-0.
Defence in the second half was outstanding, all the girls played the whole field in the second half.
The final score being 18-14 with try scorers being Malaya Anesbury with 3 and Rilee Coddington with 1 who also made a successful conversion.
UNDER 14s LT - Alf Bedford (Coach)
The 14s girls were outclassed on Saturday, after a disappointing first half the girls found a little fight from within to hold the Roos out more often than not in the second half.
We will pick ourselves back up and roll into next week
UNDER 16s LT - Tim Davidson (Coach)
