Haydon Hodge and Ronald Lawrence recently competed in trials at Coonabarabran for the main Western Region squad. Haydon was selected in this squad and will now compete in the state trials for the combined High Schools team at Newcastle next week.

Another piece of very good news is that James Agustin has been selected in the Presidents XIII to also play at the state trials. The President’s XIII is selected from players across the state, who were unfortunate in missing selection in their regional teams through injury or misadventure. Congratulations to Haydon and James and we wish them all the best at the state selection trials. To have two young men representing our small school at these trials is quite an achievement.

Our Buckley Shield 14 yrs team was soundly beaten by a very big and movile Forbes High team last Wednesday. The boys never gave up and tried hard but were outclassed.

In the next 2 – 3 weeks we have two play a Tom Kemp, 16 yrs, game against Molong and a University Shield, opens, game against Canobolas High. The dates and times for these games have yet to be finalised.
