The u17’s started the days proceedings off against the CAK u17s for the first quarter being well in touch with the high flying Gullie side, until their coach added two extra players to have 16 against our 14, and the weight of numbers proved too great in the end,

10) Coach Price although pleased to take the reserve grade win is demanding more commitment from his troops as against the top teams playing for 2 qtrs is not good enough, players need more then one nights training, all players are given fair warning – with the numbers coming back from injuries and out of the 17s no ones spot is guaranteed from here on. In the awards D Price won the mug, Jacob Gooden the scribbles café award and Brad Curtis the Wagga Caltex fuel.
NthW: 4:5, 5:9, 8:15, 9:19 73

Goals: B Carey 3, M Honeysett 2, B Hogan, B Curtis, D Selby, J Cox
Best: B Curtis, J Gooden, I Rutland, B Hogan, D Price, J Cox
A good team effort last week saw the seniors overcome an initial 1st qtr Marrar lead to draw even at the 3rd break and lead halfway through the last, however a couple of poor judgement calls gave away easy goals in the last 5 minutes turned what should have been a well deserved win to a 12 point loss. Keep at it boys, work on the goal conversions and more wins will follow.
Marrar: 4:2, 6:2, 8:4, 11:5 71
NthW: 2:2, 48, 7:10, 8:11 59

The backline and centre all worked well with Ryan Pollack and young Eagle both playing standout games, Dowds and Matty T were inspirational in the centre. Overall a reasonably good team effort from all the boys, let down a bit by our forward delivery and conversions that said the future is looking good for some more wins.
The Reserves win over CSU could have been a lot larger if the goal kicking accuracy was a little more on target,
Nth W 5:5, 8:10, 12:13, 18:15 123
CSU 2:2, 4:5, 7:8, 10:6 66

12) Last weeks venture out to Yerong Creek produced only one win from 5 games, however Sundays game at Coolamon saw the u17s victors in an entertaining game.
