While waiting for their third and final game, the Canowindra lads took up position on the hill overlooking the Number One field, and from that vantage point took on all comers who tried to breach their spot. We are pleased to announce that they were not daunted by anything that their Orange City or Emus threw at them (literally!), either on or off the field. It was Emus that the boys took on for their last game, and despite an initial quick try by the dark greens, it was the Pythons who quickly dominated through fabulous defensive play and all-conquering attack.

Josh started the ball rolling with a try from a run that stepped around almost the entire Emus team. His second came from a beautiful run from Levi, and another from a Tim attacking blitz. The addition of another individual try took Josh's total to four. Tim added to the team tally with three, and Pete went close to the try line numerous times, just coming up short. Cormac got a terrific try assisted by his team mates' push, and his mid-air spin out of the grip of the Bathurst defenders left his father flabbergasted on the sideline. This game was much more than a try scoring spree- it really highlighted the strengths of this team as a unit. Levi was terrific at chasing down the opposition and pushing them out, while Michael and George tackled hard. Jack was picking up any loose ball, and Ben and Xander were very speedy in attack. Brendan is as safe as houses in defence, and made many strong runs with the Bathurst players hanging off him. End score was Canowindra's way 9-1( much to the delight of Rob Clulow).

One thing the boys have to remember is to avoid any shirt-sling style tackles, and to keep tackling hard but safe- nothing high and dangerous. Thanks to Middo again for his sensational coaching and Mr. Mac for his assistance with the subbing, and to the Stannies boys who gave up their Sunday morning to referee dozens of little Walla players.
