Cobar Rugby League’s Chris Deighton was returned as Chairperson of the Castlereagh League Board of Directors at the group’s annual general meeting on Sunday.

The Coolah Roos’ application to be re-admitted back in the 2024 Castlereagh League competition after not having played since 2017, was also accepted at the AGM.

The Roos re-entry to the playing field was one of the highlights of the meeting and they will get an early opportunity to show their on-field wares on their home turf when they host the annual First Grade knockout next April.

Their inclusion now takes the number of teams competing in the Castlereagh League to 10 with the 14 round competition getting under way at the end of April and culminating with the grand finals at the end of August.

The season draw will be released later this week.

At the meeting Bryson Luff was also re-elected to continue as secretary.

The other six directors are Dave Morrison (Gulgong), Peter Hazelton (Gilgandra), Matt Guan (Dunedoo), Brendan Phillips (Binnaway), Joe Belgardt (Coonamble) and Adrian Worrell (Baradine).

After what was a very well attended meeting there is much anticipation the 2024 season will be another great one for the Castlereagh League.
