This weekend marked the end of the men’s home and away season, and the firsts and seconds returned from Queanbeyan with a win and a loss.
In their last match for the year, reserve grade met their competition leaders and even though it was a bit David and Goliath they defended like Trojans, scored a couple of tries and showed plenty of ticker.
The first-grade Reds scored a win against the White and picked up the minor premiership in so doing. Next weekend they will line up against Tuggeranong Vikings in the major semi-finals with the winner straight through to the grand final and the loser playing the winner of Royals and Queanbeyan Whites.
Seniors
- Men’s 1st grade: Goulburn 24 bt Queanbeyan 12
- Men’s 2nd grade: Queanbeyan 46 bt Goulburn 10
Juniors
It’s that time of the year when we get to use the word penultimate as the Fizzy Reds played their second lost competition round of the year.
In a season that has been abbreviated by rain and wet grounds, coaches report a lot of skill acquisition and a lot of fun being had across all age divisions.
Braidwood photographer Gordon Waters has kindly shared some of the U12 action against Crookwell and Braidwood in this photo gallery. Thanks very much Gordon.
