PENNANTS.
Sunday afternoon saw the mighty Sevens at home to Forbes, in a game we needed to win to stay in the hunt for the District Flag, but unfortunately we met a fired up Forbes team and went down 6/0, this is a serious blow to our hopes to go on, however, there will be no Pennants this Sunday, as it is Easter, but the following week to head west to Condobolin, this will be a hard round, as Condo is leading the Group, but we will came back with a vengeance, so watch out Condo.
