CYMS, Bloomfield Tigers juniors all set for massive grand final appearances

The two Tigers sides are the under 11s and under 14s, while the greens will have their under 16s replay last year's grand final against Lithgow before the two under-12 sides face off in an intra-club derby.

The two under-12s featuring is a proud moment for coaches Wayne Clarke and Phil Mooney, who have been working together over the past five years to have both sides in a grand final.

The whole playing group has trained together two nights a week through the season to cement what CYMS secretary Nerissa Clarke called the opportunity to "cement that we all play for the one club".

"The players are regraded and teams switched around at the start of each season to ensure we have two teams of equal ability moving through the season," Clarke said.

"For the last two seasons one of the teams has been victorious in winning grand finals for under-10s and under-11s and we know gave the U12s stitched up for this age group also."

The two teams have met twice during the home and away season with the ledger currently one a piece.

This playing group had a total of six players represent Group Ten this year which shows the depth of talent within, while made special mention of Keeley Holmes on bring the first female to represent Group Ten for Tackle RL in the boys team.

She'll be playing her last game this weekend with the boys. Keeley has played the last four years due to age restrictions.

The under-12s also have another female in the same team playing her last game on Saturday, Pele Lapuaho joined the playing group this season after moving from Sydney and has been an "absolute powerhouse" in both defence and attack.

"It will be a very sad moment on Saturday when both the girls run out for the last time on Saturday morning," Clarke said.

CYMS' under 16s will be out to defend their title from last season on Saturday which will also mark the end of one of their coaches Andrew Livingstone's time with CYMS Juniors in an official capacity.

After more than 20 years Andrew is taking some time for himself and his family at the end of this season.

"Words can't begin to describe the asset that Andrew has been to CYMS over the years, and all he has done for our players over the years," Clarke said.

Meanwhile, Bloomfield Tigers' under-11 side will take on Mudgee in Bathurst on Saturday.

The side were the first in to the grand final after winning the major semi-final which club president Jason Greenhalgh called a "good little team".

"Mudgee are a bigger team than us but we got over the top of them in the major semi final after they beat us twice during the year," Greenhalgh said.

The under 14s are heading into the grand final after an undefeated season and will be hunting for revenge.

They'll also be up against Mudgee in what will be a rematch of the 2018 grand final, which Mudgee won, and Greenhalgh said the Steve Morgan-led side would be hungry to add another victory to their impressive 2019 record.

All the grand finals will be at Bathurst's Jack Arrow Oval on Saturday from 9.30am for under 11s and 10.30am for under 12s.
