Katrina Fanning Shield: Round 11 Wrap
Round 11 of the Blumers Lawyers Katrina Fanning Shield has come and gone with just the one match due to five teams facing the bye and one game resulting in a forfeit.
Woden Valley Rams 70 d Boomanulla Raiders 0
In the only game over the weekend for the Katrina Fanning Shield, the second placed Rams put on a show defeating Boomanulla convincingly by 70-points at Boomanulla Oval on Saturday.
The win for Woden Valley was their third in a row and has secured them a spot in the top four come finals time in just under a month.
It was a whole team effort from the visitors who ran in an impressive total of 12 tries to record their season-high score. The trio of Georgia Willey, Chloe Doon and Narmeen Samsam were standouts with each of them registering two tries on the day.
Unfortunately for the Raiders, this result still leaves them at the bottom of the ladder with zero wins and nine losses.
With only three games left in the season, they will be extremely determined to register a victory with two of those games against bottom four sides.
Boomanulla face South Coast United this weekend at Mackay Park while the Rams host a top four clash against Goulburn.
Tuggeranong Bushrangers vs Yass Magpies match resulted in a forfeit.
