Coopers Friday Night Footy Preview

The Woodies head down the Mt Lindsay Highway to arguably the coldest ground in South East Queensland when they take on the top of the table Jimboomba Redbacks tonight.

Both clubs sit 2-0 at the head of the ladder, but Jimboomba hold the % advantage after some crushing wins.

It’s a long rivalry for the two sides, having played off in 2 grand finals for a victory each a decade ago, but there have been plenty of significant battles since.

The Woodies will go into the game missing several key players and at time of writing have been unable to finalise their final 22, however in true Woodsmen style they will show up expecting to win regardless of the numbers or names missing!

The likes of Rozynski, Crawford, Davis and Mihalopoulos will still take the field, while the evergreen Gabe Mckinnon also pulls on the boots for the first time in 2020.

It promises to be a tough affair, and while the Woodies would welcome your support - realistically we know nobody is driving 45 mins to stand in the rain to watch the 3rds, but the lads know you’ll be thinking of them!

Go Woodies!
