The Lansdowne men’s side played on Saturday against Tuncurry and were also defeated 4-0, but put in a great effort playing together for the first time as a team.

Ten Strings And A Goat Skin
A reminder that a great night of entertainment is being held this Saturday, April 14 at the Upper Lansdowne Hall when Ten Strings And A Goat Skin will take to the stage.
They're a bilingual folk/fusion trio from Prince Edward Island, who present traditional and original music inspired by their Atlantic Canadian histories and roots, infused with pop and world rhythms, including mouth music and foot percussion.
That's a fancy way of saying they sound great.
“These three kids get up, they start performing, and I’m like, ‘Damn! They’ve got it all: Stage presence, musicianship, vocals...” Kevin Dunwoody from Vermont World Music Festival said.
“Rowan, Caleb and Jesse are truly talented musicians and so very charming,” Nida Tautydas from McIntyre Hall Performing Arts Center said of the trio.
“Many in our audience were unfamiliar with TSAAGS - they took a chance – and they were amazed, impressed, thrilled, and moved.”
More information and music is available on the group’s website.
There will be no support act - Ten Strings And A Goatskin will do two sets with an interval, so please arrive in time for a 7pm start.
Organisers promise that it will be fun filled evening. Gourmet rolls and tea coffee and cake will be available, but feel free to BYO drinks and nibbles.
Tickets are $22 each, phone Rita on 5591 6017 for bookings and information.
