RUGBY LEAGUE

NARROMINE jetted into Dubbo for a match-up against the Macquarie Raiders and unfortunately for the visitors the day went the way of the blue jerseys at Apex Oval.

In first grade the Raiders won convincingly, scoring a massive 52 points to Narromine’s 12.

Reserve grade was slightly closer with the Raiders 46 versus the Jets at 16.

In the juniors, Macquarie was again the victor, scoring 30 against Narromine’s 14 and in League Tag the Raidettes scored 20 as opposed to the Jets’ nil scoreline.

But while the Raiders have those victories to savour, the Narromine Jets are looking to bounce back against the Parkes Spacemen this weekend with the club set to celebrate its annual Charity/ Sponsors Day, kicking off at 11am.

The club is looking to raise funds for Narromine Rescue Squad – VRA Rescue NSW and also the Narromine Cancer Support Group.

This year the jerseys have been specially designed to represent the colours of the nominated charities the Jets are supporting while also paying respect to indigenous culture.

The jerseys were the brainchild of local school student Toby Everingham who won the competition to design the jersey.

Supporters attending the game are reminded to ensure that you comply with all NSW Heath orders and Jets’ committee instructions to ensure a compliant and safe event.

You must sign in using the QR Code on arrival and the club is urging patrons to wash your hands and sanitise regularly – if you are feeling unwell or experiencing cold and flu symptoms you’re advised to stay at home and have a Covid test.

Currently masks remain essential, but should NSW Heath orders change, the club will update on the Facebook page.

Following the games supporters are invited to attend major sponsor Narromine USMC, where the jerseys will be auctioned off for the nominated charities.
