The low-temperature thermal conductivity in polycrystalline graphene is theoretically studied. The contributions from three branches of acoustic phonons are calculated by taking into account scattering on sample borders, point defects and grain boundaries. Phonon scattering due to sample borders and grain boundaries is shown to result in a $T^{\alpha}$-behaviour in the thermal conductivity where $\alpha$ varies between 1 and 2. This behaviour is found to be more pronounced for nanosized grain boundaries.
