Last Sunday at Lawson Oval a good crowd turned up despite the cool conditions to help the Goannas celebrate the Woodbridge Cup Indigenous Round and our pink day.
Our pink day highlights cancer awareness amongst women and it was Eugowra who took home the Donna Jones and Marilyn Horne Memorial Shield when they won the First Grade match.
We raised some funds that will go to local cancer organisations and the Goannas would like to thank everyone who helped make the day a success and in particular Julie Ferguson who gave up her time to do the Welcome prior to the First Grade match.
This Saturday we are off to Bathurst to take on the CSU Mungoes at Diggings Oval with League Tag kicking off at 1.40pm and First Grade at 3.00pm.
The Youth League boys are having the weekend off as they have a bye. Following are the match reports from last Sunday.
