the field ready to play football and didn’t stop for the entire match.
In a standout game, Banjo Rogers scored all seven tries for the day.
He ran hard all day, scoring two great individual tries.

Banjo also snuck in two sneaky dummy half tries in the absence of Matt Wilson.
The boys tackled well all day, with Bradley Knight stepping up to do some great tackles.
Bradley also ran the ball really well all day, gaining some good ground when needed.
Kelsey Fraser did well with a great run but was wrapped up by a much bigger opponent; she did well to come back on.

It was with much excitement that we watched the DPC Brolga Hotel under 10 side make an appearance on the Sunday
Roast football show on WIN last Sunday.
The show highlighted the great effort from one of the three Hillston boys who have joined us this year.
Billy Watkins lives 100 kilometres on the other side of Hillston and makes a 500-kilometre round trip to play junior rugby league each week; that is a great effort.
The under 11 team played Griffith Gold first up on Saturday, defeating it 8-4.

After another blockbusting run through the middle of the pack Linden Gibbs was able to get over the try line to put the Roosters up 4-0, which was the final score.
Gage Grace had a blinder of a game, being involved in everything. Charlie Black also played really well on the wing, saving many tries with his solid defensive work and also making plenty of ground with the ball.
Patrick Thelan was good defensively in the middle of the field, as was Jack Burnett.

The Darlington Point Clubs 14s had a slow start to their game.
With a poor defensive effort the Griffith team was able to get away to a 20-0 half-time lead.
The boys, however, came back from the half-time break ready to play and actually outscored their opposition in this half to end up 26-14.
Even though they lost the game, the second half of the game shows that the team can beat the opposition if it is committed for the whole game.
Lachlan Evans had a strong game in defence coming off the line to meet the opposition. Bo Grace and Dylan Gilbert also had strong games.
John Williams had his usual good running game and scored two tries, with Jerome Doolan scoring the other two. Jaden Clark converted a goal.
