The Seniors warmed up for the big games over the next month with a hard-earned victory against Narrandera.

The McDonalds Coaches award went to Jason 'Gauch' Magoci.
The 2nds played good team football to run out big winners. The Bertoldos Bakery best player awards were $30 to Adam 'Grasshopper 11' Baulch, $20 to Colin 'Case' Cassidy and $10 to Danny 'Mutley' Tuohey. The Players' Player went to Chris 'Phantom' Conlan and the Mugs' Mug to David 'Oomaloompa' Gee. The McDonalds/Griffith Coaches award went to Mathew 'Smiley' Hosking. 
The Under 18's staged a great comeback, but in the end were narrowly defeated in a top game. Best players were David Savage, Stuart Davies, Tom Spry, Rodney Duncan and Michael Tull.
Tonight, we have a Games Night at the club at 7 pm. All players and supporters are welcome. $10 per person and plenty of games on offer, so everyone please make the effort and support the social functions. Great prizes to be auctioned later in the evening. Do not forget on Thursday night we have a Trivia Night at Pioneer Park at 7 pm. $5 per person, table of eight and see Leanne Scott or Lisa Cassidy for bookings. Again, lets support the people that organise the events.
