Reece Plumbing/Griffin’s Leading Edge U14s Girls Tackle played Canowindra Tigers on Saturday in Grenfell, and they had everyone on the edge of their seats. The girls fought hard right from the start with Miley Duff scoring within minutes from the kick off. We saw some great tackles from Chelsey Norris, Katie Galvin and Emma Hando.
Piper White was next to score when she pushed her way over the try line taking the score to 10-0.
Canowindra scored two more times to even up the scoring at half time making it 10 all. Parkes knew they needed to come out even stronger at half time.
The second half again saw both sides play some excellent footy from end to end, but Parkes cracked first, and Canowindra scored to take the lead 14-10.
Daisy Rice, Myla-Rose Studdert, and Shae-Lee Lord were strong defenders throughout the game.

We miss seeing Jordii Ah-See, Emily Attwater, Ruby Heraghty, and Miley Nash who all played some great footy but unfortunately all have injuries so they will sadly miss playing in the GF but I’m sure we will see them next season.
A massive thank you goes to the coach, Steve Hopper for training the girls. Steve is an asset to the club, and we are very lucky to have him coach our girls. Also, we would like to thank the parents for volunteering to help out in the canteen, sitting on the table during games, crowd control, FAO and for supporting the kids each week while they play.
We want to wish the girls the best of luck on Saturday in the Grand Final as they play Red Bend, they have worked so hard and improved each week. Best of luck girls!
