Katrina Fanning Shield: Round 3 Wrap

The competition ladder tightens in the Blumers Lawyers Katrina Fanning Shield, where only three points separates six teams after last weekend's round three action.

Harden Worhawks 66 d Queanbeyan Kangaroos 16

Harden have displayed a huge improvement over the first month of the competition, including a draw with Goulburn and a big win over the Roos.

Meanwhile Queanbeyan have had a difficult start to their inaugural KFS season, dropping their opening three games.

Harden's Emma Bayley and Beth Loco both crossed for hattricks as they wracked up a total 13 team tries.

Although the Roos have too showed improvement, as they continue to develop heading into back-to-back home games.

The Worhawks will carry this recent momentum into their clash with last year's runners up, Woden at Phillip Oval.

Goulburn City Bulldogs 56 d UC Stars 4

The Bulldogs have bounced right back from their scare draw with Harden a fortnight ago, with a dominant victory over UC on Saturday.

Goulburn captain Annika Picker, Jennaya Ottaway, Alliya King-De Wit, and Shaelee Tobin all bagged try doubles in their strong win.

UC will look to return to the winner's circle when they take on Tuggeranong at Seiffert Oval on Saturday.

While the Bulldogs will eye off number one spot on the ladder, sitting only one point behind joint-leaders' Yass and Gungahlin, when they take on the Blues this weekend.

Yass Magpies 22 d Tuggeranong Bushrangers 10

The Magpies came away with a well fought 12-point win over the Bushrangers at Walker Park on Saturday afternoon.

After leading 16-nil at halftime, the Bushies fought back through tries to Kirralee Eppelstun and Shaye Baker to make it a contest with 20 minutes remaining.

Yass hooker Sydney Harrison put the game to bed after scoring out of dummy-half in the final stages.

This grants Yass their third straight win to start the year - continuing their undefeated streak they started in 2021.

Tuggeranong will hunt for their second win against the Stars this Saturday.

Gungahlin Bulls 42 d Queanbeyan Blues 6

With seven Bulls players out on the weekend with women's national championships rep duties, it meant others were to stand up in the clash of the round against the Blues.

Bulls' fullback Caitlin Turnbull did more than stand up, crossing for an incredible six tries as the Bulls piled on the points against last year's finalists, Queanbeyan.

The Blues were still without four of their players, as they find their feet with a new-look side.

They won't find it any easier, taking on the Bulldogs this weekend while the Bulls will look to make it four from four against the Roos.
