July 10 Update The side completed a committed period with the side having to do the longest trip in junior footy two weekends in a row, and coming through with successive victories over Mudgee. Cowra Blues 3.2, 6.5, 15.11, 19.19 (133) Mudgee Black Swans 3.2, 5.2, 6.2, 7.2 (44) July 3 Update First win of the season after a long wait. A great team effort, with a number of Under 14s filling in to help the team. Cowra Blues 6.4, 11.11, 14.16, 15.17 (107) Mudgee Black Swans 0.0, 0.0, 2.0, 8.3 (51) June 26 Update Great to see Mitch McCormack back following surgery, and congratulations to Daniel Bedford who brought up his 100th game for the club.

Bathurst Bushrangers 7.2, 11.9, 14.12, 18.17 (125) Cowra Blues 1.0, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 (8) June 12 Update Poorest performance of the season for the Blues with a lackluster effort. Bathurst Bushrangers 10.3 18.7 24.9 34.12.216 Cowra Blues 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0.0 June 5 Update Premiership favourites Dubbo much too classy in an easy win. Again the Blues battled on all game.

May 15 Update The Blues had few answers for a hard-running Bathurst side, but will be buoyed by a strong debut from David Kacarovski. The season looks like being an uphill battle, but from experience, those types of seasons are where the best players are developed. Bathurst Bushrangers 4.7, 11.10, 18.17, 24.21 (165) Cowra Blues 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 2.2 (14) May 8 Update Another difficult day for the Blues with the long trip to Dubbo to take on the Premiership favourites.

Orange Tigers 6.6, 15.10, 22.13, 27.18 (180) Cowra Blues 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 (0) 2009 Season September 12 Update A disappointing display from the Cowra boys who had done so well through the home and away series only to fall away in the finals, with a couple of key players not available. Great effort by Dave Bryant who does a ton of work for the club. Congratulations to Bathurst. Bathurst Bushrangers 4.3 9.8 14.9 17.13 (115) Cowra Blues 2.2 2.2 3.3 6.3 (39) September 5 Update Back on the winner’s list and into the Grand Final with a strong win over the Demons. Wayne Collett outstanding, with James Boyce making a welcome return and Josh Kennedy with 7 goals. Cowra 18 11 119 Dubbo 4 3 27 August 29 Update Not the team’s best effort for the season, but the team has a second chance in this weekend’s Prelim Final against Dubbo who eliminated Orange. Coach Dave Bryant will need a full team on deck if they are going to beat the young Demons outfit. Bathurst 11 11 77 Cowra 5 4 34 August 22 Update Blues travel poorly to Orange and play poorly as well as Tigers easily account for them. First loss of the season but still secure minor premiership.

Cowra Blues 4.1 6.3 8.6 12.7 (79) Orange Tigers 2.1 4.2 4.5 6.6 (42) August 1 Update Another struggle against the Demons for a 19 point win. Brenden Kennedy handy in the forward line with 3 goals, Daniel Bedford very good in defence. Cowra Blues 2.0 6.2 9.5 15.6 (96) Dubbo Demons 4.2 4.6 7.6 12.5 (77) July 25 Update Solid hitout against the Swans with good turn out of players. Josh Kennedy (11 goals) and Reece Starbuck (9 goals) outstanding, Shannon Hunt solid in defence, new players Bryce Drage and Chris Harvey look handy. Cowra Blues 7.3 13.4 20.5 26.8 (164) Mudgee Black Swans 0.1 3.2 6.3 7.6 (48) July 18 Update No footy this week due to Mudgee forfeit. July 11 Update Big win against an under-manned Mudgee team. Solid team effort all around the park. Good to see Talen Rimene and Brandon Harvey both back having a run. Cowra 31-13-199 Mudgee 4-1-25 July 4 Update Ordinary start against Orange but strong final three quarters kept the Blues unbeaten. James Boyce starred with 6 goals, Reece Starbuck kicked 5. Great games from Barry Archer, who also filled in for seniors to make his debut, along with Justin Corkery, Murray Armour and Huw Smith.

June 13 Update Again no local footy but a pie night at training on Thursday night kept spirits up. June 6 Update No club footy but a solid effort by the CWAFL rep team against NRFL. Cowra players Reece Starbuck, Kevin Book and Shannon Hunt made the team, along with James Boyce who missed the game through injury. May 30 Update No footy this weekend May 23 Update A rare win for the 17s in Bathurst to continue their unbeaten start to the season. Murray Armour a handy pick up for the side in his first game. Cowra began slow and kicked poorly at goal, wasting many opportunities, but prevailed by 10 points. Nathan Dennis had a great game, as did Huw Smith and Daniel Bedford. A number of players showed the result of poor attendance at training. Cowra Blues 1.4 2.7 5.11 7.12 (54) Bathurst Bushrangers 2.2 3.4 4.4 6.8 (44) May 16 Update Mudgee unable to field a team so no game this week but hopefully a ‘catch-up’ game will be played later in season - stay tuned for more details. Congratulations to Reece Starbuck who made his First Grade debut on the weekend. Players to be nominated for rep teams shortly. May 9 Update Strong performance at home against the Bathurst Bushrangers. After a close first half, the blues pulled away to win by 40 points and stay on top of the ladder. Cowra Blues 3.2 7.4 12.4 19.4 (118) Bathurst Bushrangers 3.2 6.3 9.6 12.6 (78) Good return match from Justin Corkery, while Reece Starbuck with 9 goals and Wayne Collett also played well. May 2 Update Always a hard trip to Dubbo, but a strong contingent came away with a hard-fought 12 point win: Cowra 11-10-76 Dubbo 10-4-64 The Blues had plenty of contributors with Kevin Book, James Boyce and Nathan Dennis the standouts. Mitchell McCormack did well at fullback. Congratulations to James Boyce who made his First Grade debut on the weekend. The team will be looking forward to the return of Justin Corkery and Talen Rimene this weekend.
