We are excited to announce that we will be hosting a KO in Collarenebri on the 11th of June, 2022!
We have been organising this for the last few months and 6 of the 7 teams that are invited have been notified and will be attending. Those 6 teams are:
- Walgett
- Goodooga
- Brewarrina
- Bourke
- Mungindi
- Toomelah
------------------------------------------------
We have invited all of our neighboring towns in hopes that this will rekindle previous strong relationships or even reinforce ones that are currently strong, whether that's through footy, bloodlines or connection to country.
We see this KO as an opportunity to reconnect with everybody as well as showcase & develop local sporting talent from across the Barwon-Darling region.
Hope to see you all there!
