St Bathans emerge victorious at the 75th Wooden Cup

It was grassroots rugby at its finest as the 75th Wooden Cup match was fiercely contested at Becks in front of a huge crowd on Saturday.

Utes packed the around the field across from the Becks Memorial Hall, about 45km from Alexandra, and the crowd arranged themselves around the ground on everything and anything, including bar stools, chilly bins and rugs.

The women’s hockey match was won by St Bathans, either 4-2 or 4-1.
