A Thrilling Canetoad Victory

Sunday 21 July was a perfect day for an exhilarating game of rugby at Casalegno Fields.

The weather was ideal with clear skies, calm winds, and cool temperatures, setting the stage for an exciting match between the Canetoads and the top-seeded Brothers. Despite playing most of the game with one man down, the Canetoads delivered some of the best footy we’ve seen all year. The small crowd erupted in cheers when the final whistle blew, as the Canetoads snatched victory from the Brothers' grasp.

The story was different for the other grades, as the opposing team in third grade forfeited, and the women's teams also had to forfeit. However, not all was lost. Thanks to the Brothers' ladies who sportingly donned Canetoads jerseys, and our girls swapping out their pink for blue. Both teams enjoyed a spirited game of Rugby 7s.

The U11s were unlucky in their Friday night match but continue to build and improve each week.

The reserve team fell short of expectations once again and seemed slightly off right from the start. Despite their best efforts, the players struggled to find their rhythm, and the opposing team capitalised on every mistake.

The Canetoads put it on the field last Sunday, taking out a win against Brothers.
