On Sunday I attended the grand final of the Ladies League Tag and cheered on the Butcher Birds from Central Newcastle Rugby League. The Butcher Birds home ground is St Johns Oval, which is in my electorate of Charlestown. The girls took on their arch rivals the South Newcastle Lionesses but the Lionesses were no match for the mighty Butcher Birds on the day. The girls ran out winners 10-nil in what was a very exciting game. Try scorers were winger Kate Davis and centre Taylah Gray, with Taylah also being named player of the match. It has been a great season for the Butcher Birds. They have been undefeated throughout after going down to Souths in last year's grand final. I congratulate both teams on a most entertaining game of football. I look forward to cheering the central girls on in 2020.
