Juniors Report Round 4: Pathways Affected by Washouts
With torrential rain enveloping New South Wales through the week, a number of Junior Rep matches were postponed - with the Tarsha Gale Cup, Andrew Johns Cup and Laurie Daley Cup sides taking the field.
Both Harold Matthews sides as well as the SG Ball team had their matches postponed, with a new time yet to be announced.
Tarsha Gale Roosters Make it Four From Four
For the second time in three weeks, the Tarsha Gale Cup Roosters have kept their opponents scoreless in what was another strong showing, this time against the Wests Tigers.
Five-Eighth Jada Taylor scored four tries, including three in the span of eleven minutes as she dazzled the Tigers on their home turf, getting on the board after just six minutes.

Front rower Milly Lupo crashed over soon after, while Leilani Wilson continued her try-scoring form with a four-pointer in the 23rd minute, with Taylor's double giving the Tricolours a 16-nil lead at the break.
Despite the muddy conditions at Leichhardt Oval troubling both sides on occasion, the Roosters struck again through Taylor's next two tries, with their defence holding off their opponents at every opportunity to grind out a convincing 24-nil victory.
The Tarsha Gale side remains at the top of the ladder, and will face the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs at Henson Park this Saturday, kicking off at 1:15pm.
