Hearty congratulations to our No 4 Pennant players who made it through to the State finals.

We are so proud of you all – even though Yamba didn’t quite get the big one they were there to the very end, coming through the heats with ease. Yamba won their first two games of the Section with a two-rink win, thus putting them in an unbeatable position even when they went down to Bombaderry in the third game. A big well done to our selectors who put the successful teams together and hearty thanks to our Club for supporting us by contributing to costs of travel and accommodation for the finals.
