The under 15s started the day with Chatham bowing out to Sharks in the boys while in the it was great to see an amalgamated team between Chatham and Taree West come out on top. They will now meet a very strong Sharks side in the grand-final.

In the division three Town women had a slow start and were always pushed by a determined Tigers. Town won through on the night and will now head to the grand final. The men was also a great game and Sharks spirit overcame a valiant Cougars.
Division two and one were played in the heat of Saturday afternoon. The division two women saw the other Town team reach the grand final. Wingham tried hard but unable to break through Town’s solid defence.
