The Condobolin Rugby Union side (Rams) have claimed the Brad Ridley Memorial Shield for the first time in 20 years. They beat the Forbes Platypi 31 to 5 at Pat Timmins Oval on Thursday, 6 April. Brad spent most of his rugby career playing for Condobolin before a season at Forbes. Tragically he was one of three of Forbes rugby Union players who was killed in the Bali Bombings in 2002. Each year since a game has been held in memoriam to bring the two clubs and rugby families together. The Condobolin women’s side managed a 20-all draw in their match. A great crowd was in attendance to cheer both towns on.
