It was a mixed bag in Midwest Pennants for West Dubbo Roos last Sunday as the tournament heads toward the business-end of the season.

Grade Two went down 8–2 to the Parkes Pirates, but the section is far from decided, as much now hinges on the Parkes-vs-Gulgong clash this weekend. The showdown with Gulgong could determine the section winner and – if results fall our way – a strong margin could see our boys claim the flag!

Grade Four produced a solid performance with a convincing win over Nyngan, keeping their section hopes alive. A victory away at Narromine this Sunday, however, would go a long way toward securing top spot.

Grade Six enjoyed the bye last weekend and now face a must-win clash against ladder leaders, Dubbo City. With two home games remaining, the Roos are well placed, but it starts this Sunday.

Grade Seven celebrated their first win of the year in style, posting a 10–0 result over Molong with the boys now heading to Dubbo Macquarie chasing back-to-back victories.
