The Cobar Roosterettes ran into COVID isolation trouble at the back end of last week and were only able to travel with nine players.
Their team included an ‘on loan’ Camels rugby union ladies player and they were also helped out with two Gilgandra players on the day filling in to give them a full side.
They played two games going down to the new team in the competition this season, Nar-romine, 36-4, (with Roosterettes’ new recruit Georgia Wilson scoring Cobar’s try) and they also lost 18-0 to the overall knockout winners, Baradine.
Coach Aumua said while the team found themselves short on numbers and they had two losses, all her players still showed a positive attitude on the field.
“They never dropped their heads and still gave it their all,” Brennah said.
She said with a number of new players this season, some of whom are new to playing foot-ball, they still have some work to do in prepa-ration for their first competition game against Gilgandra at the end of the month.
At Saturday’s knockout it seemed the Ba-radine side picked up from where they left off in season 2021.
The Magpiettes were leading the 2021 com-petition ladder when COVID bought a rapid halt to proceedings for the year after 17 rounds had been played.
On Saturday at Gulgong Baradine signaled they were again one of the sides to beat for premiership honours this season.
The Black and Whites won all four of their games on Saturday, defeating the Narromine Jets 22-12 and Cobar 18-0 in their pool games.
They accounted for Narromine again in the semis (32-0) and then also soundly beat the Gilgandra Pink Panthers 24-0 in the final.
Attention now swings to the senior rugby league sides who will all be lining up at Gil-gandra this Saturday for their annual knockout.
Cobar will meet Gulgong in Round 1.
The Cobar Roosters Under 18s are also ex-pected to get another pre-season game at Gil-gandra on Saturday.
