Preseason trial matches coming quick for the Canowindra Pythons

The Canowindra Pythons will participate in the CWRU 2025 preseason trial matches, which will provide a valuable opportunity to assess fitness levels, refine skills, and build team cohesion ahead of the new season.

Their first match is set for March 22 at 3pm at Grenfell Rugby Club, when they will face the Molong Magpies.

Later that same day, at 4pm, they will go head-to-head with the Grenfell Panthers at the same venue.

Preseason trial matches play a critical role in preparing teams for the intensity of the regular season.

Pythons coach Tom Roth, highlights their importance, not just for fitness and game readiness but also for fostering excitement and attracting new players to the squad.

"These games are important to see where our fitness levels are and to get the ball in our hands again,” Roth said.

“More than anything, they’re a great way to have fun, get people keen, and bring more players into the team," he said.

He noted that several players have shown significant growth during preseason training, and while the squad is shaping up well, the team is always eager to welcome new players.

"We've got some really handy football players looking to join, but we need to show that we have a strong, committed side,” he said.

“The more we train, the better we get, and that’s how we’ll attract more players.”

Roth encourages anyone considering joining the team to attend training sessions and give it a go.

"Even if you’re on the fence about playing, just come to training and see if you like it," he said.

With momentum building and the season fast approaching, the Canowindra Pythons are looking forward to testing themselves in these preseason matches.
