All-Stars Lose Tight Game To Parkes
Forbes All Stars went down 2-0 to their fancied rivals Parkes Wanderers in the latest round of soccer matches played on the weekend. Despite a gallant effort, the All Stars couldn’t match it with their opposition who were too organised and slick.
Western AFL WSSA Results
Western finished a respectable 11th with two wins at the WSSA AFL NSW state championships in Byron Bay last week. A tight win in the opening round against South West was followed by four defeats until the Red Dirt Cup against Barrier saw Western run out 6.5.41 to 3.3.21 in a dour affair. Well done to the Forbes boys who represented us well!
