Despite fielding one and a half teams, the club managed to finish as runner ups in the B Grade, after some tough games against Chinchilla, Tara, and Wandoan.
“This was the highest result for the club so far this season,” commented a spokesperson for the Stanley Rivers Polocrosse Club.
On Saturday the Stanley Rivers lost to Chinchilla in the morning but bounced back in the afternoon, defeating Wandoan.
This victory propelled them into the semi-finals on Sunday against the Tara second team.
Defeating Tara, they moved onto the finals but where then, once again, defeated by Chincilla, finishing as runners-up in the B Grade final.
Meanwhile, the club’s spare section participated in the D Grade competition, with eight-year-old Angus Stevens standing out, expected to become a key player for the club in the upcoming seasons.
