The weekend proved a fun weekend for the kids and a relaxing one for the adults, and a good time for all.
The youngsters evidently spent much of the weekend playing with and training grasshoppers, according to a post on the club's Facebook page, while the competitors strutted their stuff on the field.
The Yass 1 side were in the A Mixed division and enjoyed a successful weekend as they gave a number of young horses a run.
The Yass 2 side were in the B Mixed competition, and had "a good weekend getting their groove going" the club said and put on a further display of scintillating polocrosse in the final against Milton.
The Yass 3 side competed in the C Open, and played "unbelievably well" against very high quality opponents, which earned them a respectable win-loss record of 2-2 by the end of the weekend.
The club signed off its report on Facebook by adding that "the kids had a great weekend and all played well".
Yass Club members were in the winner's circle for both the Burradoo Club competition and the 2018 Annual awards:
