Rugby league
On the weekend our juniors played their last home game of the season providing some great results in front of a bumper crowd.
Our under-12s were first to hit the turf in a semi final showdown against St George/Dirranbandi.
The game was played at a fast pace with top footy being played.
Our boys turned on the power to come away deserved winners.
Top efforts from Mark Winch, Zac Taylor, Hank Boney, Daniel Cubby and Will Weeks was best on the Park.
Coach of our under-12s Scott McMillian, has the boys primed for a big effort when they face Mungindi this weekend in the grand final.
Our 'little beauties' under-8s, faced a good St George side and all the Tigers players tried hard in front of their family and friends watching on the sidelines.
But St George were too strong on the day.
The under8s's second game against Mungindi was action packed with the Tigers showing their skills and ran away with a convincing win.
Good efforts from Darcy Kidd, Trae Hooper, O'Brien brothers Van and Tom and Samuel Jackson-Bolton payed top footy.
The highly fancied St George under-10s matched up next against our greatly improved under-10 Tigers.
Coaches George McCormick Snr and Danny Drew were very impressed with the efforts of all players.
Patrick Smith ran the ball well.
Wesley Vrtacnik was highly involved and the quick thinking of Mitchell McGovern saw our boys slog it out for a highly entertaining 28-all draw with St George.
Big games also from Brodie Simon, Terry Brown and Tyron Drew.
This side has impressed all season and is sure to give it their all in the final game of the year against Mungindi.
Our under-14s have also secured a grand final appearance after their polished performance against St George/Dirranbandi on the day.
Robbie Khuen, coach of the 14s, has the boys firing leading up to the big day.
Good footy from Tim Carter, Ricky Weatherall and the rest of the side.
Big thankyou to Black Opal Tours, Lightning Ridge CTC, the referees and linesman and canteen helpers.
Our end of season super raffle is out and about with top prizes to be won, so secure a ticket at $2 each.
Grand final day at St George this Saturday.
Bus leaves Bowling Club at 6am, $3 to travel.
Under-12s and 14s teams deserve congratulations on reaching their respective grand final in our inaugural year playing rugby league in the Barwon/Balonne competition.
Our under-8s and 10s have also proved a handful for opposing sides during the season with our under-10's proving one of the hardest sides to beat.
Our under -8s improved with every game they played and the general knowledge that we have a very formidable rugby league club.
President Scott McMillian, coaches Robbie Khuen, Danny Drew and George McCormick, Treasurer Kelly Crosby and all Committee Members could not have hoped for better results in our first year in the Barwon/Balonne Competition.
Well done to all players.
