The Nyngan Easter challenge has gained momentum during the past couple of years, last year’s challenge being attended by Phil Gould. This year will see the likes of International Development Officer Tas Baitier and NSW high performance Wayne Portlock. Regular guest referee Sean Hamstead will continue his support, along with a list of other NRL guests soon to be confirmed.

An exciting host of new teams will be in attendance this year with sides from South Sydney and the West Tigers showing interest. Development teams from South Australia and PNG will be special guests this year, along with regular attendees Parramatta and the Hunter academy(Newcastle juniors)as well as our own Far West Academy, Western Academy and Group 11.

Event organiser Col Wright is, as usual, very excited about the upcoming event. Col and his small band of helpers put an enormous amount of time and energy in each year to ensure everything goes off without a hitch, but they are always looking for more help. If you are interested in helping in whatever small way you can, we ask that you please meet at the RSL on Wednesday February 15 at 7pm.

This event is a huge boost for the Nyngan area and for young footballers from across the west. We need to keep the concept alive and that can only happen if we have people willing to help.
