Future NRL stars take centre stage at Apex Oval
PLAYERS from Under 8 to 16 presented themselves in peak condition for their “one day of the year” on Sat. Some left smiling, others a little less excited but all gave it their best shot and some brilliant action ensued.
Premierships were shared around with new club Dubbo City Magpies securing a win and teams from Nyngan, Warren, Forbes and Narromine joined with long-serving clubs St John's and South Dubbo in taking a share of the spoils.
The only blight on a superbly organised event conducted in spirited fashion, occurred towards the end and immediately following the Under 15s match. DDJRL officials are holding ongoing investigations into the behaviour of some parents, players, spectators and officials and some strong action will be taken to try and prevent any recurrence of this type of behaviour.
Congratulations to long-serving president Neil Milgate and his generous, hard-working committee on the conduct of another highly successful season.
