URGENT UPDATE: The Hay Magpies are set for a pivotal clash against the Leeton Greens this Saturday, October 7, 2023, at Yanco Sportsground. After securing their historic first-ever Group 20 First Grade final victory, the Magpies aim to extend their remarkable run, but face a formidable challenge from a determined Leeton side seeking redemption after their recent loss to the Waratahs.
This weekend’s showdown is critical for both teams. The Magpies are riding high after a surprising 28-18 victory in their last encounter with Leeton. In contrast, Leeton is looking to avoid a straight-sets exit from the finals, making this match a battle for survival and a spot in the first-grade preliminary final at Leeton No. 1 Oval.
As the stakes rise, the atmosphere is expected to be electric. The Greens will leverage their home ground advantage, hoping to rally their fans to support them in this crucial moment. Meanwhile, the Magpies are poised to make history by advancing further than any previous Hay side.
In a related matchup, the DPC Roosters will return to action against the Waratahs at Darlington Point Football Ground on Sunday. This game will determine who claims the first spot in the Grand Final scheduled for two weeks from now. The Waratahs are anticipated to play without key player Moses Lolohea, who may impact their performance.
The competition extends beyond the First Grade, as Leeton could field three teams in the grand finals across various grades. Matches scheduled for Sunday include:
– 9:45 AM – Under 16s: Black and Whites vs. Yenda
– 11:00 AM – Under 18s: Waratahs vs. Yenda
– 12:15 PM – League Tag: Black and Whites vs. TLU Sharks
– 1:15 PM – Reserve Grade: Waratahs vs. Leeton
– 2:35 PM – First Grade: Leeton vs. Hay
With emotions running high and the outcome uncertain, local fans are urged to rally behind their teams. The Magpies are on the brink of making history, while Leeton is determined to turn the tide in their favor.
