This Saturday will be a big day and evening for the Grenfell Goannas.
All three grades will be in action at Lawson Oval for the last time this season and the club will also celebrate Old Boys Day and later in the evening we will be holding our annual Reverse Draw fundraiser.
There are still tickets available for the Reverse Draw and you can grab them off Kim 0457 120 650 or Sarah 0403 535 481.
There is more information on the Goannas Facebook about the Old Boys Day and Reverse Draw. Game times are Youth League (12.20pm V Orange United) whilst League Tag (1.40pm) and First Grade (3.00pm) both take on the Trundle Boomers.

Following are the match reports from Peak Hill.
LEAGUE TAG

This was a crucial game for the Girlannas as they were trying to keep their Semi-Final hopes alive. They responded magnificently and put in one of their best displays of the year to defeat Peak Hill 42 nil after leading 14 nil at half-time.
This Saturday at Lawson Oval the final competition round sees another important match for the Girlannas and a win against Trundle will secure them a spot in the Semi-Finals. Back to the Peak Hill match where Grenfell scored eight tries through braces to Faith Smith, Emily Brenner, and Chelsea Harveyson and singles to Darcie Osborne and Meadow Mooney. Emily Brenner also knocked over five conversions.
Best for Grenfell were Olivia Berry (Player’s Player), Chelsea Harveyson, Sophie Hughes, Ella McRae, Emily Brenner, and Faith Smith.
FIRST GRADE
The Goannas turned up to Peak Hill with only 11 players and that included three Youth League boys.
Grenfell made the Roosters work hard in the first half and with 10 minutes left before the break the locals led 20-10.
As expected, Peak ran away with the match in the second half against a tiring 11-man outfit winning by 72-10. The Goannas Club couldn’t be prouder of the efforts by the boys on the day. Jaxon Greenaway had a big game, and he was well supported by Caleb Haddin, Michael Smith, Chase McFarlane, Simon Samson, and Player’s Player Orlando Joyce. Grenfell’s points came from tries to Simon Samson and Orlando Joyce and Simon also kicked a conversion. This Saturday with a few troops back the Goannas have their final chance to claim a win in season 2025 when they host Trundle.
