The Warriors officials have organised a big day of footy starting at 12.30pm with the girls going at it in their League Tag match.
The girls from both sides have been really looking forward to this match-up and it should be a great spectacle.
The Wang girls have been going well having dropped only one game to date and that was against competition favourites CSU Yellow.
Prior to the main match, an ‘Old Boys’ match has been organised when players of the past from both clubs will wind the clock back for a bit of fun.
The ‘Old Boys’ game is open to any one who has played for Wang or Portland in the past.
Put on your boots and come along join in the fun as this will become an annual event.
Contact Phil Howarth on 6355 1991 or Todd Lane 6355 7405.
There will be a large number of players who will have to select which team they will be playing with as many have turned out for both Portland and Wallerawang during their careers.
The two teams will be playing for the Laurie Bender and Barry Rushworth Trophy and all money raised on the day will go to cancer research.
Then comes the main match with the Warriors taking on the Colts with bragging rights around the district plus two valuable points on the competition ladder up for grabs.
Wallerawang are keen to get back on the winners’ list after a loss in their last outing. They were disappointed with their effort against Bathurst Villages and have been training hard in a bid to show they can match it with the top teams.
Portland would love nothing better than to inflict another loss on Wang and both sides will be turning up the intensity.
There should be a good crowd on hand to give the players support and following the games everyone is welcome back at the Wallerawang Royal Hotel.
