The first round of the rugby league Woodbridge Cup took place this Saturday at Canowindra’s Tom Clyburn Oval with a grudge match between the Canowindra Tigers and the Cargo Blue Heelers.
The usual atmosphere of tense rivalry was replaced with black and yellow armbands, worn by the team members in memory of Canowindra locals Stephanie Scott and Dylan Collyer.
Prior to the first grade game, players released yellow balloons into the sky after a very touching and emotional minute of silence.
The Canowindra Tigers took out the win over the Cargo Blue Heelers, beating them 42 points to 32.
