It was all about the ladies and those that have proudly worn the black and gold, with the club celebrating its Ladies Day and Old Boys Day.

There was also fashions on the footy field, and an auction following the completion of the games, with all funds raised from the day going to Can Assist and Batyr.
In honour of the day, the women's 10s side also played in specially designed jerseys featuring a touch of pink incorporated into the black and gold.
They might push to wear them a bit more often after delivering arguably their most comprehensive performance of the season to upset second-placed Gunnedah 34-nil.

It completed a clean sweep for the home side, with third grade and second grade also getting wins.
