This Saturday at Lawson Park the Grenfell Goannas will host the North Canberra Bears in trial matches with League Tag starting at 1.30pm and First Grade at 3.00pm. The Canteen and Bar will be in operation and ground entry is free.
At the ground on Saturday we will be asking for donations for Goannas Youth League and First Grade player Blake Dombrain.
Blake was left paralysed after a freak swimming accident on New Years Eve, and he has a long and costly recovery ahead of him, so please dig deep for this very worthy cause.
Last Saturday night at the Grenfell Bowling Club the Goannas held a very successful fundraiser in the form of a First Try Scorer Calcutta.

The Goannas would like to thank all the bidders/buyers who supported this event and also Auctioneer Robert Anderson who worked the crowd beautifully to extract every last cent from the patrons.
Last Saturday at Sid Kallas Oval Cowra we saw the Youth League Sevens tournament take place as well as the Indigenous Allstars v Heritage Allstars matches.
The Allstars matches kicked off with the open ladies League Tag and after a tight tussle for most of the game Heritage finished strongly to come out on top winning 36-10.
Indigenous Allstars led 10-6 at half-time in the men’s game and then with 20 minutes left on the clock they led 20-16.
In the last quarter of the match the Heritage boys knocked up in the hot conditions and this allowed the speedy Indigenous players to pile on the points and record a 42-16 victory.
In this match Grenfell was represented by Caleb Haddin, Charlie Frendo, Michael Smith and Zach Starr and all four put in solid performances.
Earlier in the day coach Jamie O’Loughlin was happy with the efforts of his Youth League boys and they are looking forward to what is shaping up as a very competitive 8 team competition in season 2025.
