On the weekend Guyra’s first grade side headed to Inverell to play in the semi-finals. It was a warm afternoon and Guyra started positively that they could get the win. The game was a back forth contest in the first half with some fire and aggression from both sides. Neither team was able to convert the pressure into scores, and they went into half time locked at nil all.
Guyra started a little flat in the second and paid the price with a goal 10 minutes in from Inverell. Guyra didn’t drop their heads and the intensity lifted but despite a couple of close chances, and a direct shot attempt that the Inverell keeper stopped, the Guyra boys couldn’t get back in the game with the score ending 1-0. 
The Under 12s also played a semi-final against the DK Axes in Armidale. The game was a lot closer than the end score line showed, with some poor offside calls leaving the Guyra keeper exposed. The DK defence was too strong for Guyra and they couldn’t get in the game with the score ending 4-0. 
The rest of the junior sides had a great weekend where they all played in Guyra in terrific weather. This weekend the junior teams will head to Armidale for games. 
In Guyra we will see to home preliminary finals with the winners going on to grand final next weekend. The under 12s will take on TAS at 10am on Guyra’s main field. There will be a break before a rematch from a couple of weeks ago with the first grade side to take on Glen Innes at 3pm on the main field. This is set to be a close game and should be very entertaining. Thank you to the supporters who travelled over on the bus with the team last Saturday.
