The Harden Hawks will take on old foes the Binalong Brahmans in Saturday’s final round of the George Tooke Shield competition, at the Binalong Rec Ground.

The Hawkettes also had their scoreline blow out when they downed the Boomanulla Raiderettes 54-4 . Try scorers included Emma James 3, Georgia Smith 3, Emilie Quinn 1, Molly Fredericks 1, and Clare Smith 1. Emma James kicked a magnificent 9 conversions not missing a shot all game.
