Goulburn Workers Bulldogs v Queanbeyan Blues
2:15pm, Sunday May 26, Workers Arena

Two sides near the top of the table will be looking to return to winning ways this Sunday when the Goulburn Workers Bulldogs host the Queanbeyan Blues.

The Goulburn side currently have eight competition points but their form has dipped in recent weeks with the side having lost two of their last three matches.

However, the Bulldogs are unbeaten at home this season and will be looking to move above the Blues on the ladder.

The Kangaroos have the third best defensive record and the fifth best attack in the competition but have only claimed one win this season.

Aaron Gorrell’s side will be up against one of the surprise packets this season in the Gungahlin Bulls who currently sit in sixth place and have claimed impressive wins against Woden and the Queanbeyan Blues.

Yass Magpies v Tuggeranong Bushrangers
3pm, Sunday May 26, Walker Park

The bottom of the ladder Yass Magpies host the top of the table Tuggeranong Bushrangers at Walker Park on Sunday.

Tuggeranong enter the match off the back of their first loss of the season. The Bushrangers lost against fierce rivals the Woden Valley Rams 26-18 last Saturday and will be eager to bounce back.

A win for the Bushrangers would mean they hold on to their place at the top of the ladder but a loss could see them slip to fourth.
