ROUND ONE OF WESTERN WOMEN’S RUGBY LEAGUE
Last Saturday at Canowindra Woodbridge Cup took on the Mudgee Dragons and came away with big wins in the Under 15s (54-8) and Under 18s (66-8) whereas in the opens Woodbridge finished their match full of running but just fell short of victory going down 36-32. All of the Grenfell girls acquitted themselves well with nine of the tries in the under 15s game being scored by them. It is expected that the Panorama Platypi will provide much stiffer opposition in round two at Grenfell this Saturday.
