I write to congratulate Nyngan players, supporters and community on their performance, attitude and sportsmanship at  the Group 11 Grand Final last weekend.

I was doing the front gate for the Grand Final and every single Nyngan player, supporter or support staff member who came through the gate was positive, polite and displayed a great attitude towards the day. 

I estimate in excess of 3 500 people (including children) came in through the front gate and the Nyngan cohort displayed exemplary attitudes towards my staff, myself and towards the ethics of the day.

My heartfelt congratulations to the whole township.

Whilst you may not have been successful in winning the Grand Final, you certainly "won" the community spirit and attitude award!

This is a credit to all.

Cheers and better luck next year.

I well remember my days playing for Goodooga and travelling to Nyngan in the old Group 15.

It was always a challenge back then and from your results this year, this has been rekindled!
