The Ridge teams were up against Dirranbandi and St George in Under 8s, Dirranbandi in the Under 10s and Mungindi in the Under 12s.

In cold and blistery conditions, the Under 8s defeated Dirranbandi in the first game but St George was too strong in the second.

Top effort by all players.

Jacob Borkovic and Robert Lane played strong and Greg Brown was awarded Man of the Match.

Great games.

Our Under 10s were short on numbers, so Mungindi assisted with players. (Thanks Mungindi boys).

The Ridge side were far too strong on the day and ran away convincing winners.

Mitchell McGovern ran hard all game, George McConnick tackled well and Tyron Drew, after a five try performance, came away with man of the match. Well done boys.

Mungindi proved too solid for our Under 12s, with all our boys trying hard, but unable to peg back a half time lead.

Best on the day for the Ridge were Bobby Brown, Thomas Alchin and Daniel Cubby.

The LRJRL committee and players would like to thank Dean Alchin for his role as president of our club, his time and effort and direction.

Thanks also to Lawrence Walford for his role as vice president, Scott MeMillan and Trevor McGovern shall direct our club for the remainder of the season.
