The CSU Mungoes (Bathurst) have withdrawn from the 2025 Woodbridge Cup competition.

This means that teams who were to play CSU on a given weekend will now receive a bye.

The Goannas League Tag and First Grade teams were to play CSU this Saturday in the opening round of the competition so they will now have the weekend off.

Youth League will kick their season off this Sunday at Sid Kallas oval Cowra when they take on the Magpies at 11.20am.

The Youth League competition could expand to a 9 team competition with the inclusion of the Narromine Jets, however, this is yet to be confirmed.

Last Saturday the forecast rain did not arrive and in overcast and mild conditions the Goannas hosted the North Canberra Bears in League Tag and First Grade trials.

The good crowd that rolled up witnessed two close and very competitive games of footy.

For the record the Bears took out the League Tag clash 12-10 whilst the Goannas won the First Grade game 28-18. On Sunday 13th April round two of the competition will see Grenfell host Eugowra in all three grades with the game times being Youth League (11.20am), League Tag (12.40pm), and First Grade (2.00pm).
