The Junior Rugby League season comes to end this weekend with Grand Finals to be contested in all grades from under 9’s, in both boys and girls divisions, up to Open age Gold and over 35’s Gold League Tag and everything in between in what promises to be an exciting two days for all concerned.
The 9A’s Grand Final at Forshaw Oval at Sylvania kicks off the festivities at one venue, with the Sharks Academy Fields at Cronulla High School to also host a series of competition deciders.
On Sunday Forshaw is again the venue for the senior men’s Grand Finals, beginning with an Under 15’s Gold match and culminating in Engadine and Gymea doing battle in the Open Gold match, kicking off at 3.15pm.
Gymea will contest four of the five senior games at Forshaw, Engadine three of five, making it a huge occasion for two of the Cronulla district’s larger clubs.
A lot of interest will also centre around the Boys Town Ovals at Engadine and Kareela Oval on the Princess Highway when between the two venues they play host to 11 Women’s and Girls League Tag Grand Finals.
Outside of the local district, Gymea under 16 Gold travel to Redfern Oval on Sunday to play Coogee Randwick.
The full list of games for both Saturday and Sunday are listed below.
