Matthew Betsey, who is Wests Tigers General Manager of Womens and Pathways, says it’s a great achievement for those who are involved this weekend.

“Getting selected for representative teams as a player or coach, is a nice reward for effort and commitment at club level,” said Betsey

Well done to all pathways' players, and our two coaches, who are involved in City-Country this weekend.
