With the Laurie Daley Cup (Regional Under 18s), Andrew Johns Cup (Under 16s), SG Ball Cup (Metropolitan Under 18s), and Tarsha Gale Cup (Women's Under 18s) set to get underway this morning, there will be strong representation from the Goulburn region after a spate of Stockmen were selected in sides across each competition.
Goulburn had two selected in the Monaro Colts side to play in the Laurie Daley Cup, one each in the Canberra Raiders teams which will play in the Tarsha Gale and Harold Mathews Cups, and a whopping six in the Colts team which will take part in the Andrew Johns Cup.
