The dream of securing another dance in the grand final was unfortunately shelved last week for the Cherrypickers who were sadly knocked out by the Gundagai Tigers 20-32 in the preliminary final.

Tries for the Pickers were scored by Jesse Corcoran, Boro Navori crossed twice and Tom Giles with Tom Demeio converting two.
