What a draw!

We are finishing up for the night peeps. What a draw!

That Pool A in the men's is going to be staunch as. The defending champions up against WAC, Cody Walker and the Bundjalung Baygal Warriors taking on Combined Countries, and the Yowies straight through to round 2.

Good luck to all the Men, Women, Boys and Girls having a crack across the weekend.

It's going to be massive. Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

Brother Alby is keen!
