Cobar’s Thomas Plater has been named the Castlereagh Rugby League Player of the Year.
While the presentation would have normally been done at the grand final, due to the COVID affected season, the awards were presented after the group’s annual general meeting on Sunday.
Baradine’s Billy Carey was awarded the Castlereagh League Youth League Player of the Year and Dunedoo’s Hayley Cox was named as the League Tag Player Of The Year.
In terms of the structure of the executive committee of the Castlereagh Rugby League, little has changed for season 2022 with Chris Deighton (Cobar) remaining as president, along with Peter Hazelton (Gilgandra) and Joe Bellgardt (Coonamble) as the vice presi-dents and Bryson Luff (Gilgandra) secretary/treasurer.
The Management Committee will comprise Brendan Phillips (Binnaway), Matt Guan (Dunedoo), Mick Burns (Narromine) and Nicole Hyde (Baradine).
With the inclusion of the Narromine Jets in the 2022 competition clubs voted in favour of shortening the season to 14 competition rounds, with each club having seven home, and seven away games.
A highlight of the meeting was the awarding of deserved Castlereagh League Life Mem-berships to Joe Bellgardt (Coonamble) and Wayne Burgess (Coolah) for their wonderful contributions to the competition.
