Season kicks off with day competition
Last Saturday the First Grade (Tens) and Youth League (Sevens) teams travelled over to Blayney to compete in the Woodbridge Cup Tens and Sevens competitions.
The opening match for the First-Grade team saw them go down narrowly to the Canowindra Tigers and in their second match they were defeated by an improved CSU outfit.
Canowindra went on to win the competition after a very tight tussle with Cowra whilst CSU had a strong win in the Plate Final over hosts the Blayney Bears.
The Youth League boys lost both their matches against Cowra and Canowindra but they competed well in the games and it was a good hit out for them.
Molong took out the sevens competition after a close battle with the Cowra Magpies. New First-Grade recruit Luke Roughley impressed in his first time in a Goannas jumper and the club would like to thank Garry "Nails" Hewen for his first-aid and strapping duties.
