Congratulations to the very talented Jessie Pound who made her senior debut as goalkeeper in the game, at just 14 years of age.

Despite their determination, the Blues were unable to match North Wagga and lost the game.

This week, the Farrer League sides will play East Wagga Kooringal at home.

The Coly Blues will host their Ladies Day, so it should be a bumper crowd.

The South West Juniors sides will also play at home, against Narrandera.
