The Harden/Boorowa U11s League Tag girls for defeated Young Cherrypickers on Saturday 12 to 4.

The girls were evenly matched throughout the game and both teams were strong on defence and keeping up the pressure. The first try and conversion were by Hayley Hambrook who has been a strong consistent player throughout the season.

Young were fast on their attacks and responded with a try for a half time score of 6 to 4 Harden’s way. The second half was just as tough and close with good tagging by Shania McKinnon, Heidi O'Connor and Hayley Hambrook.

The Bushhawks were close to scoring several times but Young kept up the pressure and forced mistakes by Harden. With only a minute to go Georgia Squire-Wilson got a good break and used her speed to score a crucial try. She was then able to successfully convert.

Well done girls and well done coach Cara Phillis and Luke Brown. Next week - the grand finals! Go Bushhawks!
