The boys have had an extremely successful year, with “all growing as players and young men” according to coach Chris Butler. “Their confidence and ability as a team is impressive”, Chris said.
A real team effort in 2018 has seen this team struggle with their fair share of setbacks and injuries to become Minor Premiers for the second year in a row with a big win against West Wyalong on Saturday 11th of August in front of a home crowd.
Now with a home ground, grand final booked the excitement, anticipation and suspense was apparent at training on Tuesday.
The boys were trying to remain calm and treat it as just another training session but with special attention from supporters and members of this wonderful club the change in mood was evident.
Speaking with supportive mums Tracey Bray and Lisa Glasson this excitement and anticipation was confirmed with both mums saying that their boys where extremely focused and excited.
Both mums wanted to ‘wish the team the best of luck’ and said, ‘we know you can do it’.
Forbes Magpies are hosting Saturday’s junior grand finals, head on over to Spooners Oval to see some great junior rugby league action.
The 14s are expected to take the field about lunch time, or shortly after, with an all-Forbes game against the Red Bend side.
Best of luck!
