"It was good to see the event in town and a lot of Goulburn players involved," Pearson said.

"My side had limited training sessions, but they played like they had been together for a long time."

Pearson said although winning the competition was the goal, he also wanted to his players to make the ACT and Southern NSW Griffins side.

"The goal was to get as many of these players into the Griffins team as possible and we thought by winning the day, we could achieve that," he said.

There was just the one match in the women's competition which also include some local players who were trying to make the ACT and Southern NSW Kestrels side.

Goulburn's Will Mooney, Jordan Wilcox, Jackson Reardon and Alec Palmer played in the men's competition while Pearl Rakete, Paige Penning, Jordan Brooker, Ashley Mewburn, Krystal Blackwell and Elly Hazelton played in the women's.
